Latkes are traditionally made from potatoes because they were plentiful and easy to obtain for Eastern European cooks. They are made from shredded potatoes, eggs, onions and salt. Matzo meal, flour or breadcrumbs are often added to help bind the ingredients together. Herbs and spices are sometimes added for flavor.
As these little potato cakes are made even more delicious by adding feta cheese, Fairview has given us a great little recipe to try. The Latkes are perfectly paired with the Fairview Viognier that boasts a light golden colour and gives white pear and red apple aromas – the perfect wine for this traditional dish.
