Latkes are delicious crispy potato fritters that are commonly associated with Hanukkah, the Jewish “Festival of Lights,” but I recently learned that they were originally made in 13th century Italy, using ricotta cheese, and were often served during an entirely different holiday. Potatoes weren’t introduced to Europe until the 1600s, when they were brought back from South America. They became a staple food throughout Europe by the 1800s, and during this time, the humble potato pancake, or latke, was born. I look forward to making latkes this time of year, though they’re great anytime. They’re traditionally served with applesauce and sour cream, but you can also enjoy them for breakfast. They go great with eggs and smoked salmon. Here’s how to make them!

Reset FiltersMy favorite part of any Thanksgiving dinner is the cranberry sauce. Apart from turkey (just okay), gravy (that's more like it), bread crumb stuffing (I can't even move after), and sweet potatoes (please, no marshmallows!), it's the cranberry sauce that really marks the time of the year for me.
