Wikipedia
Potato pancakes, are shallow-fried pancakes of grated potato and egg, often flavored with grated onion. Potato pancakes may be topped with a variety of condiments, ranging from the savory (such as sour cream) to the sweet (such as applesauce or sugar), or they may be served ungarnished. Potato pancakes are sometimes made from mashed potatoes to produce pancake-shaped croquettes. Potato pancakes are commonly associated with traditional Austrian, German, Polish, Ukrainian, Yiddish (where they are known as latkes or latkas (Yiddish: לאַטקעס, Hebrew: לביבה ''levivah'', plural לביבות ''levivot''), Hungarian and Czech cuisines, although other cuisines (including those of India and Korea) also have similar potato pancakes. It is also the national dish of Belarus. In Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Russian cuisines potato pancakes are commonly known as ''deruny'' () or ''draniki'' (, ). Throughout Germany, potato pancakes are also very much liked, most commonly under the names ''Reibekuchen'' or ''Kartoffelpuffer'', and they are eaten either salty as a side dish or sweet with apple sauce and cinnamon; they are a very typical menu item during outdoor markets and festivals in the colder seasons. A form of potato pancake known as 'Boxty' is a popular traditional dish in most of Ireland. It is made in a similar way but using more starch. The Swedish version of unbound potato pancakes are called ''rårakor''. When prepared with a batter of wheat flour, milk, egg, and shredded potatoes and fried like thin pancakes, they are called ''raggmunk'', which literally translates as "hairy doughnuts" (the grated potatoes make them look hairy). Both kinds are enjoyed with fried bacon and lingonberry jam.
