Potato Latkes
94%Read ReviewsHeat & Eat
Liebman’s potato latkes are made the traditional way at the last kosher deli in the Bronx — the Riverdale institution Joe Liebman opened in 1953 — crispy-edged and yielding inside, built around proper onion and potato with seasoning that doesn’t need explanation. Yuval Dekel, who brought his artisan baker’s background to the Liebman’s kitchen when he took over in 2002, kept the latke recipe exactly where it was; spiced applesauce is the traditional accompaniment, sour cream or creme fraiche if you prefer the dairy route.

The Bronx’s Last Standing Kosher Deli
The Bronx’s Last Standing Kosher Deli
When Joseph Liebman opened his restaurant in 1953, there were over 100 Jewish delis in the Bronx. Today, Liebman’s is the only one standing. It’s not only a testament to the quality of their food, but also to the care and commitment of the people preparing. In 1980, Joseph Dekel, a native Israeli, bought the kosher deli and went great lengths to preserve Liebman’s old recipes. When he passed away in 2002, his son Yuval took over. Then a drummer in a heavy-metal band, he soon became a fixture at Liebman’s—and still is.
For too many people, stepping into Liebman’s is a time warp—from its simple neon sign, to the no frills Formica tabletops and padded booths, this deli is a genuine taste of old New York.
