Yonah Schimmel Knish Bakery, located at 137 East Houston St. on the Lower East Side, has plenty of knishes.

Six generations have prided themselves on making the baked comfort food wrapped in dough. The recipe was brought to the U.S. by eastern European Jewish immigrants in the late-1800s.

But it's not all knishes at the bakery. They are also cooking up latkes — also known as potato pancakes — for the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. Yonah Schimmel Knish Bakery's co-owner Ellen Anistratov says they will be making a whole bunch of them over the eight days and nights of Hanukkah.

"Thousands, I know that. Because we are doing them from morning until night," Anistratov said.

The latkes are fried in the basement kitchen. The restaurant has been at the same location since 1910 — however, founder Yonah Schimmel started the business from a pushcart 20 years earlier.

The latkes are made using a family recipe that goes back decades.

"Potatoes, eggs, a little bit baking soda, a little bit something more, salt, pepper, but it's the love that you put inside that makes the difference," Anistratov said.

Depending on taste, they can be consumed plain or with something else.

"I like it just like that. When it's warm, it tastes delicious. But you can have it with apple sauce, sour cream. Some people like it with ketchup, mustard. I don't know. You can get creative," Anistratov said.
