These Classic Potato Latkes offer a delightful contrast of crisp edges and a tender center. When they come off the stove, a sprinkle of salt is the perfect finishing touch. Serve them with a dollop of sour cream and chives, and you have the ultimate comfort food. These latkes are an excellent choice for breakfast, offering a delightful alternative to your usual Breakfast Potatoes.

Latkes are essentially miniature potato Hash Browns, making them a fun and manageable serving size. They are bound together with a touch of egg and flour, which also makes flipping them easier. You have the flexibility to make them larger or smaller, depending on your preference.

We have a deep appreciation for potatoes, relishing them in various dishes like Au Gratin Potatoes, Creamy Mashed Potatoes, and the ever-beloved Roasted Potatoes. If you share our passion for potatoes, this latke recipe is a must-try!

What are Latkes?

Latke, pronounced as “lot-kee,” is a Yiddish term for “pancake.” Latkes are essentially small, shredded potato pancakes fried in oil to achieve a crispy, hash brown-like texture. They are often served with sour cream and chives. In terms of flavor, they are somewhat reminiscent of Ukrainian Deruny, with the key distinction being the use of a star grater, resulting in a more potato puree-like texture rather than grated potato.

Traditionally, Jewish people serve latkes and other oil-fried foods during Hanukkah to symbolize and celebrate the miraculous occurrence of the menorah oil lasting for 8 nights instead of just one. While latkes can be made from a variety of ingredients like zucchini, carrots, beets, or cheese, we prefer the classic potato version. These delectable treats are so tasty that you’ll want to enjoy them all year long.
