Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Latkes are the traditional Hanukkah breakfast treat of eastern European Jews, though not reserved for that time. This recipe comes from Ina Garten, except that she does not mention onions. Many Latke recipes do. She also does not mention sour cream, but it is a traditional option.
