Are Potato Pancakes German Or Jewish?
Potato pancakes are traditionally found in both German and Jewish cuisine. In Germany, they are known as Kartoffelpuffer, while in Jewish cuisine, they are known as latkes. Both cultures have been making and enjoying versions of this dish for centuries. The recipe and seasoning may differ slightly between the two, but they both have the same basic ingredients of grated potatoes and onions, mixed with eggs and flour, then fried until crispy.
