Latke

Cultural Context

Latkes, or potato pancakes, are a traditional Jewish dish often enjoyed during Hanukkah, symbolizing the miracle of the oil that lasted eight days. Made primarily from grated potatoes and onions, they are typically fried until crispy and served with sour cream or applesauce. While they are deeply rooted in Eastern European Jewish culture, latkes have gained popularity worldwide, especially during the holiday season, with various adaptations and toppings.
