Every family has its own (ahem, best) version of these savory
potato pancakes. We’re offering you a classic formula, though not everyone drains the potato mixture before frying—we find this prevents the latkes from absorbing too much oil and allows them to crisp into golden disks. Top them with
apple chutney, a spicy, crunchy twist to traditional applesauce.
Mix and match:
smoked salmon with horseradish cream and
lemony egg salad are delicious on
both latke options.
