Potato+pancakes
Not Kosher for Passover
Not kosher for Passover. Potatoes themselves are kosher for Passover, but traditional potato pancakes (latkes) often include ingredients like flour or breadcrumbs, which are not kosher for Passover as they are chametz (leavened products). Even if made with matzo meal, the custom of some Ashkenazi Jews is to avoid kitniyot (legumes and some grains), which might include potatoes, though this is debated.
