We say pancakes, you say latkes – or is it lot-kuhs? Either way, we all know that a traditional potato latke is an oniony-tasting potato pancake that usually finds its way onto plates for eight nights of the year in December, during the spirited celebration of Hanukkah. However, the reason why this mouth-watering dish is only enjoyed on special occasions remains a mystery. 

Simply put, with the goal of making you a little verklempt, potato latkes are eaten during the Jewish celebration of Hanukkah to commemorate the miracle of the oil, which lasted for eight days in the narrative of the occasion which Hanukkah commemorates. But there’s no reason why you can’t try it out by frenching them onto your plate and biting into one of the most scrumptious dishes Eastern Europe has to offer. With our traditional recipe and cooking instructions, you’ll be able to cook them straight on a Daytona Griddle. 

So, it doesn’t matter how you pronounce latke, just make sure that you follow this recipe and cooking instructions for a taste of Jewish culture, Daytona Griddle style!
