Latkas are popular in many countries. Different versions are made from sweet to savoury.

My pancake/latka is made using sweet potatoes rather than the traditional white potato, less starch so not as crispy but delicious even so.

In Britain and Ireland they are called pancakes, Swedish rårakor, Polish placki, Czech bramborák and Jewish latke.

Makes 12 latkas
