“My grandmother … instead of potato latkes being straight potato she tried to make it healthier, if that’s possible, by adding a lot of vegetables. She would grate carrots, zucchini, whatever vegetable happened to be in her pantry at the time and she would just add that to the mix of the potato pancake and then that’s what she’d serve us for Chanukah, so that’s what has become the traditional thing that we do.”
