Celebrate with Potato Latkes

Celebrate with Potato Latkes

This recipe for latkes (potato pancakes) is gonna make you plotz. Latkes, traditionally made for the Jewish holiday Hanukkah, are made from six simple ingredients — potatoes, onions, eggs, flour (or matzo meal), salt and oil. Making them isn't very complicated, but they do take a bit of time. Hanukkah is celebrated for eight nights (in honor of the miracle of oil burning for this long) and while, eating something fried for this many nights in a row, is usually a bad idea, we say, "Go for it!" Your bubby would want you to.
