Latkes? So addictive! It’s never enough to eat just one. It takes at least three or four to satisfy that crunchy potato craving – of which there are rarely leftovers. These are even better when topped with sour cream and homemade, cinnamon-fragrant applesauce. Maybe it’s a good thing that they only come around once a year at Hanukkah or another holiday. Nonetheless, whether at Sunday family dinner or the special holiday, this classic is now back in your life, with the extra indulgence of the (completely lactose-free) creamy topping.
