About the Recipe
This is the easiest latke recipe you’ll ever make!
Forget about frying your latkes this year, try baking them. Less mess and clean up! These are so delicious and so super simple to make!
Potato latkes are meant to symbolize the miracle of Hanukkah. When the Second Temple of Jerusalem was destroyed the oil from the menorah stayed aflame for 8 days even though there was only enough oil for one day.
