A fried potato pancake confection that appears to be a Jewish latka commonly eaten on Hanukkah, but is, in fact, not a latka. Latkas are only made of grated potatoes with eggs, a little milk, flour or matzo meal and baking powder, fried up in a pan using, typically, shmaltz or oil. Anything else is a notka. Examples of notkas include American hash-browns, Irish boxty, British tattie fish, Korean gamja-jeon, Polish placki, and Swedish rarakor.
The whole family was at my bubbe's house for Hanukkah and this shiksa my cousin is dating brought some soggy potatoes that looked like hash-browns. They were total notkas.
