Little Latke, a new brand of shelf-stable potato pancakes, aims to bring the beloved holiday treat to everyday snacking. Founded by Taylor Blue, Little Latkes are made with real shredded potato for a crispy texture and unique appearance, reminiscent of traditional latkes. Blue's inspiration came from her mother's recipe and a desire to capture the irresistible crunch of homemade latkes.
Amelia Schwartz is a Brooklyn-based writer and editor who has been covering food, beverage, and culture for over seven years. She is currently the associate editor at Food & Wine magazine, focusing on trends and innovations in the hospitality industry., are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a slightly savory flavor thanks to grated onions. But making them can be a challenge.
“The idea really started with my mother’s recipe, a traditional potato latke,” says Blue. After graduating from culinary school, Blue dreamed of selling latkes to the masses. She sent out a research survey to understand what people really loved about the dish, and the answer was clear: the crispy, crunchy edges.
Blue could relate: When her mother made latkes, she would save the leftover crunchy bits in a plastic bag to munch on throughout the week. And so, Blue developed a formula for an ultra-crunchy, golden-brown latke that can be snacked on like chips. Little Latkes are made with shredded potato, giving each mini latke a unique appearance and texture akin to a Parmesan crisp. The other ingredients are pretty dang close to what you’d use to make latkes at home: onion powder , white pepper, salt, potato starch, and“The first time I got the nutrition label back from the lab, I was in shock,” says Blue. “I wasn’t planning on marketing this as a healthy product but it kind of turned into that. It’s been a really pleasant surprise.
