My Latkes Bring All The Boys To The Bar...

...and they're like "can I get some apple sauce and sour cream with that?"



































The apple sauce was moldy, so I had to improvise with other dipping sauces. Maple syrup, ketchup and sour cream are pictured. Of course I had sour cream. I always have sour cream. Sweet, sweet love of my life, sour cream.

1/2 cup of flour
1/3 cup of water
2 eggs
3 potatoes, finely shredded
1 tablespoon of olive oil
¼ cup of chopped onions (I used green onions)
2 teaspoons of salt
1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil for frying

Peel and finely shred the potatoes. Squeeze out as much water as you can from shavings. The more water you extract, the better they'll cook. In a bowl, mix the potatoes, flour, eggs, water, oil, and salt until well blended. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium frying pan and spoon the mixture in the hot oil. Spread/flatten it to about a 3-4-inch diameter. Cook thoroughly on both sides. Serve with sour cream, apple sauce, maple syrup, jams, whatever dipping sauces you think would go well.
