Potato latkes are seasoned, pan fried potato pancakes that are traditionally served for Hanukkah. \\ Recipe on PassTheSushi.comLast night we made potato latkes. We aren’t Jewish, but it’s always fun to try new things, especially things involving traditions.

Besides, if I only stuck to my roots I would be stuck with bangers and mash, and I know that would get old quick.

These potato latkes were yummy, came together quickly and Handsome totally had the right idea about using them again for breakfast. Our 2 large potatoes made about 12 latkes, so there were plenty of leftovers.

  1. These latkes look so yummy! Like you, I made these Saturday night, though my family isn’t even a little bit Jewish. The recipe I used was very similar, but I think your’s turned out better. I used a 1/4 cup scoop and it was too much per pancake. Good cooking and great pictures!

    Happy SITS Day!
