Cheese latkes (Yiddish: קאַזעס קיכעלעך, romanizedkases kichelech,[citation needed] literally "cheese cookies") are a traditional Jewish dish with ancient roots, especially significant in Ashkenazi cuisine. It is a type of latke pancake made from cheese and is often enjoyed during Hanukkah and other festive occasions. Cheese latkes are distinct from the more commonly known potato latkes, which also play a significant role in Jewish culinary traditions.[1][2]
