December isn’t just for Christmas. Hannukah often falls within the month as well. This eight day, eight night Jewish holiday celebrates the successful liberation of the holy temple in Jerusalem. It’s also referred to as the Festival of Lights, in part because a one-day supply of oil was able to light a menorah in the Temple for eight days.
Because of this miracle of the oil, traditional holiday foods are often fried in oil. The most commonly known dish (and most popular) is the latke. I mean, who doesn’t love potatoes fried in oil? It’s like a rosti but shaped like a pancake! I grew up eating these. Traditional latkes have grated potatoes, onions, egg and flour, but new versions are coming out, made with different root veggies, like grated zucchini, sweet potato, or squash. The list goes on and on. Latkes are traditionally served with either applesauce or sour cream. I love them both and cannot/will not choose a favorite! It all depends on my mood!
I also want to give a shout out to sufganiyot, which are soft, fluffy ball-shaped donuts stuffed with jelly goodness. They are found in Jewish bakeries during this time of the year and they Rock! Sufganiyot comes from the Hebrew word sponge, since the dough hits the oil and just soaks it . The thought of that makes me smile. I also love how families come together during this holiday and cook and eat together, eat. Food is basis of so many holidays around the world. I love it!
Live in New York City? Here are some places you can go to get latkes or jelly donuts:
- Polish GI

- Veselka
- Karloff. Brooklyn
- Mile End Deli
- 2nd Ave Deli
