Potato latkes are a traditional Jewish dish made from grated potatoes, onions, eggs, and flour, formed into patties and fried until crispy and golden brown. They are commonly associated with Hanukkah, where they are eaten to commemorate the miracle of the oil, but they can be enjoyed year-round as a side dish or appetizer. The potatoes are typically grated, mixed with the other ingredients, and then fried in oil, creating a crispy exterior with a tender inside.

Latkes are often served with toppings like sour cream or applesauce, depending on personal preference or tradition. While the classic recipe uses potatoes, variations can include other vegetables, such as zucchini or sweet potatoes, but the basic preparation and frying method remain the same. Latkes are a versatile dish that can be adapted to suit different tastes while maintaining their role as a beloved comfort food in Jewish cuisine.
