A latke (Yiddish: לאַטקע latke; sometimes romanized latka, lit. "pancake") is a type of potato pancake or fritter in Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine that is traditionally prepared to celebrate Hanukkah.^[1]

It is commonly eaten in Israel and the Jewish diaspora where it is known as ״לביבות״ (romanized levivot, lit. "little hearts".) and has many variations.
