About Potato pancakes

Potato pancakes, also known as latkes in Jewish cuisine, are a popular dish enjoyed in various cultures worldwide. Made primarily from grated potatoes, eggs, flour, and seasonings, they are pan-fried to create a crispy exterior and tender interior. Originally found in Eastern European recipes, they are often served during holidays such as Hanukkah and have become a versatile side dish or snack. Potatoes provide a source of potassium and vitamin C, while eggs contribute proteins and essential vitamins. However, traditional frying methods mean potato pancakes can be high in calories and fat, depending on the oil used. Healthier versions can be made by baking or air frying. Served with applesauce, sour cream, or other toppings, potato pancakes are beloved for their comforting flavor and texture, making them an indulgent yet nutritious treat when enjoyed in moderation.
