Latkes

 

Latkes are a Hanukkah tradition, but the crispy potato

pancakes can be appreciated at any time of the year.

They are frequently served with applesauce. Taste for

Living Chef Beth Ginsberg likes a mix of potatoes,

carrots and zucchini in her latkes, but feel free to

vary the vegetables: turnips, parsnips, squashes and

sweet potatoes are all good. Be sure to always include

some starchy potatoes, which help hold the pancakes

together.
