    I don't really associate latkes with Judaism. It is a traditional eastern European (of Polish origin) dish enjoyed by many denominations though associated with Hanukkah because the potato harvest falls shortly before the holiday starts and there were a preponderance of Jewish people historically in the region.

    I made some pretty delicious butternut squash and potato latkes with apple salsa last night. But those are not for sale.
