Pashtidot

We all know and love the traditional latkes; they’re a Chanukah treat in every home. However, this year, it’s time to swap out the classic for these delicious, vibrant, herb-infused bites of joy! We call these pashtidot, which means small, fried pies, and they’re so good! In the classic Sephardic kitchen, where spices, fresh herbs, and bold flavors are given center stage, these latkes are infused with fresh dill, parsley, scallions, and a beautiful blend of spices. They really give over that mouthwatering fusion of tradition and innovation. I like to add feta cheese on top for some extra creaminess and flavor. You’ll never have to ask someone if they want another one, since they’ll be gone before you get a chance!
Happy Chanukah and happy cooking!
