Each Jewish holiday comes with its own set of cherished foods meant for sharing with family. Rosh Hashanah brings apples dipped in honey, Passover has matzah ball soup and Hanukkah features the crispy delight of fried latkes.
Although the term “latkes” translates to pancakes in Yiddish, the classic rendition usually involves potatoes. However, as you can see from 25 savory recipes we have pulled from the Jewish Light archives, these delectable delights can take on diverse forms, including variations with cheese, quinoa or even zucchini.
While there are plenty of ways to infuse modern flair into the traditional latke recipe, one unchanging element is the use of oil, a significant component tied to Jewish holiday traditions.
Time to fry it all up.
