Potato pancakes with sour cream, also known as latkes, have a rich history rooted in Eastern European and Jewish cuisine. Traditionally made with grated potatoes, onions, eggs, and a touch of flour, these crispy delights are fried to golden perfection. The dish gained popularity in the United States, particularly during Hanukkah, where it became a staple. Renowned chefs like Yotam Ottolenghi have put their own spin on this classic, incorporating unique flavors and ingredients. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in Jewish delis and restaurants, where they are often served with a dollop of tangy sour cream and applesauce. The key to perfecting this dish lies in achieving the ideal balance of crispy exterior and tender interior, and mastering the art of seasoning. Whether enjoyed as a side dish or a snack, potato pancakes with sour cream are a comforting and timeless treat.
