Latkes are an important addition to Hanukkah feasts, but interestingly enough, potato latkes weren't available until the 16th century. Latkes are made from grated potatoes combined with eggs, onions and flour, then fried in vegetable oil. They are frequently served with sour cream and apple sauce for dipping. Before that, Maccabbee soldiers ate latkes made from fruits, vegetables and cheese.

Traditional sufganiyot, jelly doughnuts without a hole in the center, are also popular Hanukkah treats. Sufganiyot are dropped straight into hot oil without molding, therefore each one comes out in a different shape. To finish, they're covered in powdered sugar and cinnamon. Sufganiyot are commonly sold at Israeli street stands and Jewish bakeries.
