Put yourself (or your latkes) in this picture.

You don’t have to be Jewish to love latkes, especially when the shallow-fried potato and onion pancakes emerge from the pan crisp and greaseless. Which is how Eli Buli of Mesiba, a Levantine restaurant in Williamsburg, makes them.

You can learn his secrets this coming Sunday, Dec. 3, in a two-hour hands-on class at the restaurant, which is located in the Moxy Brooklyn Williamsburg Hotel. Tickets, which can be purchased here, are $65.87 and include a welcome cocktail, a glass of wine, and of course latkes.

After the latkes have been devoured, hang out at the bar, which will be dispensing seasonal cocktails, and listen to Hanukkah party music.
