Butternut Squash Latkes

Cultural Context

Latkes are a traditional Jewish dish, especially popular during Hanukkah, symbolizing the miracle of oil. While potato latkes are the classic version, variations like butternut squash bring a seasonal twist, adding sweetness and vibrant color. Today, latkes are enjoyed year-round, often served with applesauce or sour cream, and have found a place in modern culinary traditions beyond Jewish households.
