\"Pickles and pickled foods are a staple in Jewish cooking. Included in everything from Jewish deli favorites to sabich sandwiches in Israel. So it made sense to combine my love for pickles with my love for latkes,\" she said.

Kritzer, who frequently ate fried pickles dipped in ranch as a late-night snack while living in Texas, said she realized \"latke batter could be a perfect crust for a fried pickle.\"

\"The best latkes are crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, and these have an extra crunch from the pickle slice,\" she explained. \"I dried the pickles very well and coated them in a little potato starch to help keep the latke crispy.\"

Plus, she added some fried-pickle-inspired spices to the raw potato mixture, too.
