Potato Latke Pancakes

Having traveled to Israel 7 times with members from our church, we thoroughly enjoyed the Palestinian foods, along with some of the traditional fares of the Israeli people. This classic potato latke is part of the celebration of Hanukkah and has become a holiday favorite for our family, with our son Judah doing the cooking.
