The potato latke, a traditional Jewish fried potato pancake, is a savory dish best served on occasions and holidays such as Hanukkah. From Kugels and Collards: Stories of Food, Family, and Tradition in Jewish South Carolina (University of South Carolina Press, 2023) by Rachel Gordin Barnett and Lyssa Kligman Harvey, this crispy latke is quick, easy, and tasty. Pair it with sour cream or applesauce if you are craving something a little sweeter.
