Latkes with potatoes
6 servings
40 minutes
Latkes with potatoes are a traditional dish of Jewish cuisine closely associated with the holiday of Hanukkah. Crispy and golden, they are made from grated potatoes mixed with onions, eggs, and flour, then fried in hot oil. Their taste surprises with a combination of tenderness inside and an appetizing crust outside. The light spiciness of coriander and the freshness of parsley make the dish even more aromatic. Latkes are traditionally served hot, accompanied by sour cream for creamy softness or apple sauce for a touch of sweetness. It's not just food – it's comfort, family warmth, and a connection to centuries-old traditions.
