Latkes are a classic Hanukkah dish. The patties are cooked in oil, symbolizing the small amount of oil in a temple lamp that burned for eight days, the miracle the holiday commemorates. Garnish with extra green onions.

This has become my go to recipe for latkes. Light and crispy. I disagree with previous review about need for food processor. Grater is fine. Put grated potatoes in a dishcloth and twist to remove liquid.

Lovely subtle taste. I used matzo meal instead of the flour and it worked just as well, probably didn't even need either since it was such a small amount. Would definitely make these again - simple, straightforward and easy to make.

These are really delicious, and super easy, provided you have a food processor to shred potatoes. My family loved them. I would make them again in heartbeat. The one thing I would just reiterate, is that you MUST squeeze out all the liquid from each individual cake, before you fry them, or they'll fall apart! I've learned that the hard way!
