Before 1492, many Jewish people lived in Italy. Their version of a Latke was more like a deep-fried, cheese pancake made with ricotta cheese. It is referenced in texts that date back to the 13th century that describe the food eaten during Chanukah.
Chanukah celebrates the resilience of the Maccabees (a Jewish tribe) and tells the story of a candle that burned for eight days with a single can of oil. The cooking oil that was used to cook the pancakes represents this miracle.

There are a couple of reasons that the Latke recipe changed from cheese to potatoes in this region. One is that Eastern European Jewish people would use a cooking fat called Schmaltz (cooked down chicken fat) instead of olive oil like in Italy, and it is against Jewish dietary restrictions to mix dairy with another animal product. The other reason/theory is mass crop failure, poverty, and hunger in Eastern Europe forced residents to start potato farming, as it was easy and cheap to grow.
This version with potato is what we know as the Latke.
