Get your latkes while it's still Hanukkah!

It's hard to imagine why latkes aren't around all year long. Your kitchen still smells like potato-fried oil two days later but it was so worth it. Bid farewell to Hanukkah by frying up one last batch of potato pancakes. They're the perfect perch for whatever chefs participating in a latke competition can dream up, including several of these recipes.

Hanukkah Cooking Traditions

Leave the gelt, eat the gelato

Growing up in a left-leaning conservative Jewish family, Hanukkah was fun – gifts (oh, the gifts – Matchbox cars and He-Man and wrestling figurines) every night for eight nights, spinning the dreidel with my sister, “lighting” the electric orange-bulbed menorah that sat on our window sill with my mom (sans prayer) that faced a Christmas light-heavy street on Staten Island, and eating Hanukkah gelt (those gold-foiled wrapped chocolate coins packaged in yellow netting) and oddly shaped (even for shredded potatoes) latkes.
