Potato Latkes Recipe

Potato latkes are traditionally eaten during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. Latkes, sometimes called potato pancakes, are becoming increasingly popular as a year-round dish. We like to think of them as an upgrade to the traditional hashbrown. Latkes are the perfect addition to any potato-loving table, Hanukkah or otherwise!

Served with sour cream or applesauce, latkes provide a satisfying potato crunch, soft pillowy interior, and mild flavor that makes them perfect for pairing with other dishes. Chefs are getting creative and swapping out potatoes for root vegetables or zucchini and pairing latkes with aioli or chutney. For anyone who likes a savory-sweet flavor, this sounds divine! For latke-cooking newbies, the classic recipe below is a great place to start.
