My best friend gave us THE BEST wedding gift ever. She bought us wine bottles for each anniversary for the first 10 years of our marriage and then for the 15th, 20th, and 25th anniversary. (the labels even have our names on them!) Each year we enjoy the bottle of wine and it really reminds us of our wonderful wedding. (thanks so much amylee!!!)
To celebrate our second anniversary with our wine i decided to make a German inspired meal (as we love going to the holiday German market in Chicago every year around our anniversary). To make the meal a little healthier both recipes were baked or broiled instead of fryng but we didn't think any flavor was lost.
Meal- Potato Latkes, Wener Schntzel, and Apple Sauce.
To many more happy years, Cheers!
Larry's Famous Potato LatkesAdapted from Stephanie Cooks
2 lbs potatoes
1 lbs onion
1 c. matzah meal
5 eggs
salt
olive oil
Topping- Apple Sauce
Peel potatoes and with slicer attachment on food processor shred the potatoes and onions together. Squeeze out the moisture from the mixture and stir in eggs, matzah meal, and salt. Mix well and store in fridge over night.
Preheat broiler. Using an ice cream scoop portion out potato mixture on a baking sheet and press firm into pancake shape. Drizzle with oil and place under broiler for 5 minutes. Flip potatoes, drizzle with oil and finish under broiler for another 2 minutes. Top with apple sauce or sour cream and enjoy!
Wiener Schnitzel (Pork)inspired from many online recipes
1 lbs pork cutlet
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 c. flour
1 c. bread crumbs
salt and pepper
Olive oil
1 lemon for garnish
Preheat oven to 400F.
Pound out pork with rubber mallet and season with salt and pepper. Dredge pork in flour and then place n eggs and cover completely with bread crumbs. Place on baking sheet and drizzle with small amount of oil. Bake for 20 minutes or until done. Garnish with lemon and serve with Latkes.

I love schnitzel! I think you can also call it schweine schnitzel as you used pork, which is just as much fun to say out loud :)
Looks great!
