Food Story Friday: The Origin of Potato Latkes

While homeschooling and doing a unit study on Hanukkah we discovered Latkes. Traditionally they are served during Hanukkah and eaten with honey or fruit preserves. I did discover that before being made with potatoes they were made using Ricotta cheese or some other form of curdled cheese. Because of Jewish dietary laws they could not make them using this method. They are flavorful and delicious. Hope you can try them. Below is the web url where I found the recipe.
