Izzy's potato pancake is a Cincinnati deli classic: a giant, golden hand-grated pancake the size of a salad plate, served alongside the reuben sandwich at Izzy's since 1901.
Izzy Kadetz opened Izzy's deli on Elm Street in 1901, serving the Cincinnati Jewish community with kosher-style classics. The giant potato pancake became a signature item from early in the deli's history. The Kadetz family ran the deli for four generations. The current ownership still serves the same Reuben and potato pancake at the original Elm Street location.
