Latkes

Cultural Context

Latkes, or potato pancakes, are a traditional Jewish dish, especially popular during Hanukkah. They symbolize the miracle of oil, commemorating the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. While the classic recipe remains beloved, modern variations include sweet potato and zucchini latkes, enjoyed by many around the world.

1

Grate the potatoes and squeeze out all the extra water, preserving the starch and a teaspoon of water at the bottom.

2

Remove the top of the food processor and add half of the grated potatoes, onion, and eggs.

3

Pulse the mixture in the food processor until combined.

4

Add the rest of the grated potatoes and matzo meal to the mixture and combine for texture.

5

Season the mixture with salt and both white and black pepper.

6

Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to allow the matzo meal to expand.

7

Form the mixture into patties, flattening them out like hamburgers.

8

Cook the latkes until you see nice browning around the edges, without flipping them too soon.

9

Place cooked latkes in a 200-degree oven to hold them before serving.

10

Serve latkes with traditional toppings like sour cream and applesauce, or more elaborate toppings like salmon roe or brisket with onion gravy.
