Potato Latkes

This weekend was the first weekend in 12 weeks I haven’t had homework. I didn’t even really know what to do with myself. All day Sunday I was in the oddest mood and I think it was because I felt guilty for relaxing. I started feeling a little less funky when I started dinner. I haven’t had the time to cook something from a recipe in, you guessed it, about 12 weeks. I think I made 1 new dish this quarter. Poor Hubs said he’s so excited to eat better now that I’m on break.

So, what did I decide to make first? Potato Latkes. Amy with Playing House tweeted about her favorite latkes recipe last week at the start of Chanukah.


I knew I had to make them this weekend. I’ve been craving latkes since Hubs bought applesauce over a month ago. I LOVE me some latkes with sour cream and applesauce! Hubs had never had potato pancakes (excluding the time, recently, when we bought them from a street vendor in Austin) and excited to try the sour cream applesauce combination.

How did I make them?

Amy wasn't kidding, these are the best potato latkes you will ever make. I'm so glad we had leftovers because I can't wait to eat them again tonight.
