Good day everyone! („• ֊ •„)੭ Just got super curious about latkes. Does anyone know where they originally came from? I've been making them for a while but realized I don't know much about their history. Would love to dive into a little food lore if you've got the scoop! Thanks! ᵕ̈

So, latkes... They originally came from Eastern Europe, like Poland or Russia. They're a big part of Hanukkah celebrations. People make 'em with potatoes and fry 'em up crispy. Solid comfort food, you know?

You've perfectly captured the essence of latkes! Their rich history and comforting flavor truly make them a Hanukkah staple. The crispy exterior and fluffy interior are truly a delight! Thanks for sharing your scoop!
