Latke'
Not Kosher for Passover
**Not kosher for Passover.** Latkes are traditionally made with potatoes, flour (often wheat-based chametz), and sometimes breadcrumbs or matzo meal. Potatoes are fine (not chametz), but wheat flour is leavened grain forbidden during Passover. Even matzo meal versions require strict kosher-for-Passover certification to avoid kitniyot issues or cross-contamination; standard "Latke" products aren't certified and contain chametz. For Passover, use potato starch or certified Passover matzo meal instead.
