Latkes

Latkes with a side of sour cream and apple sauce.

This recipe comes from www.style.com from Pamela Love, who makes beautiful jewelry (including the famous bird claw cuff). The first time I tried to make hash browns from scratch, I didn't squeeze out the water and no matter how hot and long I fried the potatoes, I couldn't get them to crisp. In the end I had purplish-brown mushy potatoes. My poor dad ate a plate of them and I threw away the rest. LESSON LEARNED: always squeeze the water out of potatoes.


This is a basic, great recipe for latkes with ingredients you probably already have at home. I like to add green onions or some smoked salmon on top with a dollop of sour cream. YUM.
