Latkes are central to Hanukkah celebrations, fried in oil as a symbolic nod to the miracle of the oil in the Hanukkah story.
Crispy fried potato pancakes, golden and shatteringly crunchy at the edges, traditionally served with apple sauce or sour cream — a beloved Hanukkah tradition.
Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the grated potato and onion.
Mix with eggs and flour to bind into a loose batter.
Fry spoonfuls flattened in hot oil until deeply golden on both sides.
Drain on paper towel and serve hot with apple sauce or sour cream.
Squeezing out excess liquid thoroughly is the key step — skip it and the latkes will steam rather than crisp up properly.
