Nov. 29th, 2021 06:44 am... we had the traditional Hanukkah potato latkes, with a moderately-high-protein side of Thanksgiving stuffing (made, of course, with pork sausage).
As far as potato pancakes are concerned, we're a mixed marriage:![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
shalmestere is firmly in the sour-cream camp, while I lean towards applesauce. We seldom have either in the house, so we usually use full-fat Greek yogurt. This time not only did we have actual sour cream, but we also had cranberry-apple-jalapeño salsa left over from Thanksgiving, as a stand-in for applesauce, and it worked surprisingly well. We also had leftover Thanksgiving turkey-pan-drippings gravy, which shalmestere suggested for the stuffing, but I tried some on a latke (hey, it's potato, right?) and that worked pretty well too. And for afters, a slice each of cranberry-curd tart in an almond-meal crust.
