Also known as latkes, they are also a staple food item during Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights. Dan Raskin, fourth-generation co-owner of Manny's Cafeteria and Delicatessen (link: http://www.mannysdeli.com/), joined us in our ABC7 studio to talk about the history of latkes, and he showed us the special recipe of how they make potato pancakes at his family's deli.
