About Latke pancakes

Latke pancakes are a traditional dish rooted in Jewish cuisine, commonly served during Hanukkah celebrations. Made from grated potatoes, onions, eggs, and a touch of matzo meal or flour, these savory pancakes are pan-fried to achieve a crispy golden exterior. While deliciously comforting, latkes are calorie-dense due to frying in oil, which can increase fat content. However, they offer nutritional benefits from the potatoes—rich in potassium, vitamin C, and fiber—and the protein provided by eggs. Variations using sweet potatoes or zucchini can enhance their nutrient profile. Though often enjoyed with sour cream or applesauce, limiting heavier toppings can keep them more health-conscious. Perfect for a festive treat, latke pancakes balance indulgence and tradition in every bite.
