I made three from this months Bon Appetite and then added in another for good measure.
1. Rosti Style w/Rosemary Applesauce aka the big Latke. This is apparently a Swiss style latke/potato pancake
2. Butternut Squash Latke w/Sage and Pinenut Yogurt Sauce
3. Spicy Cauliflower Latkes with Za'atar Aioli
4. Gingered Sweet Potato Latke with Spicy Sesame Sauce.
To round out the menu
Salad with just a touch of bitter greens, pears, candied walnuts and a choice of blue or goat cheese on the side.
Mini Molten Chocolate Cakes
Pomegranate Holiday Sparklers. (Basically pom, a touch of lime and any sparkling wine-I used Prosecco but a Cava or any domestic would work just as well. Don't use the really good stuff though-or at least leave out the 1st two ingredients if you do)I also made a vegan version of all the latkes by leaving out the egg and adding a touch more flower. Also left the butter out of the applesauce recipe and made a few other little adjustments. I did not find a good sour cream substitute though-if anyone has one let me know.
Everyone had a different favorate. I think I liked the Rosti style best followed by the Spicy Cauliflower.
No need to save these for once a year. Latkes are an somewhat easy and fun party food.
