I am all about experimenting with new and exciting snacks, and I have to say, my latest creation is absolutely delicious! Introducing the ultimate comfort food combination: potato latkes with apple sauce and sour cream. These crispy, golden latkes are the perfect balance of savory and sweet, and they're so easy to make at home. Whether you're looking for a new snack to enjoy while watching your favorite movie, or a fun and delicious appetizer to serve to your friends and family, these latkes are sure to please.
First, let's talk about the latkes. Potato latkes are a traditional Jewish dish that are typically served during Hanukkah, but they are delicious and satisfying any time of year. The key to the perfect latke is to use the right type of potato. I prefer to use russet potatoes because they have a high starch content, which makes them extra crispy when fried. I also like to add a little bit of onion for flavor and a little bit of flour to bind the mixture together.
Next, let's talk about the toppings. I love the combination of sweet and savory, so I like to serve my latkes with a dollop of tangy apple sauce and a generous helping of sour cream. The apple sauce adds a touch of sweetness that really complements the savory latkes, and the sour cream adds a creamy, tangy contrast that makes every bite even more delicious.
