Latkes with labneh and za’atar

I have loved latkes aka potato pancakes aka potato cakes since I was a child and I am always happy when these potato pancakes are available again. I know you can’t really lump these three names together, but the approach is the same. In fact, I’ve always had the habit of sprinkling the stuff with a good spoonful of sugar and eating it. But it gets even better: latkes with labneh, olives and za’atar.

Nice and thin and crispy

I like latkes to be nice and thin and crispy. For me, they don’t have to be perfectly round. I really like it when the sides are frayed and the roast aromas develop really well there during frying. To do this, I always put a tablespoon in the pan and press everything into a round shape with the back of the spoon. The rest is up to chance. This way, they are a little lighter in the middle and nicely toasty-dark towards the edges. This way, you not only achieve different flavours in one potato patty, but also directly different textures in the mouth: from soft to crispy.

Hearty crunchy meets creamy fresh

Potato pancakes are often served with apple sauce. I like this combination with the slight sweetness and acidity of the apples. If you like it even fresher and creamier, try your latkes with a good portion of labneh. The wonderful sourness of labneh harmonises perfectly with the roasted flavours of the potato pancakes and gives a nice freshness to what is actually a really fatty dish. I like to serve it with a few intense Kalamata olives and a good pinch of za’atar. Add a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of parsley and you have a whole new experience of latkes aka potato pancakes – you know what I mean… just delicious!
