Potato Pancakes and Hanukkah: A Delicious Tradition

Potato pancakes, or latkes, are a beloved tradition during Hanukkah, symbolizing the miracle of the oil that burned for eight days in the ancient Temple. These crispy, golden pancakes are typically made from grated potatoes, onions, and eggs, fried in oil to commemorate the miracle.

While traditionally fried, many people today opt for healthier alternatives, like baking the pancakes, without sacrificing the delicious crunch. Whether served with applesauce, sour cream, or enjoyed on their own, latkes are a comforting and flavorful dish that brings families together to celebrate the Festival of Lights.

Easy to Make, Anytime Potato Pancakes

These potato pancakes are so simple to make, they’re perfect for any time of the day. I especially love pairing them with stuffed pork tenderloin and stewed red cabbage with apples for a hearty, comforting meal. Enjoy!
