If you have ever been invited to a Hanukkah party you can't have missed that the most popular

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

For a classic Ashkenazic latke recipe:

INGREDIENTS:

6 medium Idaho potatoes
2 medium yellow onions
2 large eggs
3 Tbs flour (some people use matza meal)

2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
Canola oil

DIRECTIONS:

Peel potatoes; place in cold water. Using a grater, grate potatoes and onions in large bowl - you can also use a food processor.

Transfer potato and onion mixture to a colander set over a bowl, and squeeze out excess moisture. Return mixture to bowl.

In separate bowl, combine eggs, flour, salt and pepper. Combine all ingredients. You can add flour or matza meal if the consistency is too thin.

In large frying pan, heat 1/2 inch oil over medium-high heat. Drop serving-spoon-size portions of mixture into oil. You can flatten them with a fork or spatula.

Fry until they are brown on the edges. Turn over the latkes until they are golden brown on each side (this can take 3-4 minutes per side. Place hot latkes on paper towels in a pan to drain excess oil.

Latkes are traditionally served with sour cream and/or applesauce.

For a different type of latke experience....
I have also found several recipes for latkes using a variety of ingredients such as sweet potatoes featured in Moroccan latkes and spicy Indian latkes. If you are having your own Hanukkah party try making several kinds of latkes and serving them with various toppings such as sour cream, yoghurt or home-made applesauce. I usually serve my first night of Hanukka meal with several kinds of latkes, a few toppings and a nice big green salad. My family loves it and yours will too.
