Hanukkah latkes with applesauce have a rich history dating back to the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. Traditionally, latkes are made from grated potatoes, onions, and matzo meal, fried to crispy perfection. The addition of applesauce as a topping adds a sweet and tangy contrast to the savory latkes. This dish is a staple during Hanukkah celebrations, symbolizing the miracle of the oil that burned for eight days. Chefs and home cooks alike take pride in perfecting their latke recipe, with variations including adding carrots or zucchini for a unique twist. In New York City, renowned Jewish delis like Russ & Daughters and Katz's Delicatessen serve up some of the best latkes with applesauce, capturing the essence of traditional Jewish cuisine. The key to a great latke lies in achieving a crispy exterior while maintaining a tender, fluffy interior, and pairing it with a homemade applesauce that strikes the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.
