I wanted to make a traditional Hanukkah dish for my party, and nothing seemed to be more traditional (or easy to serve at a party) that latkes. Cheese latkes, while seemingly a new innovation, are thought to be even more "traditional". In any case, I decided to make these ricotta cheese latkes, as they seemed very easy to make. They were, and people ate them all up. Serve them with apple sauce.
