Sides

While the traditional way to serve latkes is with sour cream and applesauce, hot from the pan, if you want to stray from tradition, these crispy potato cakes are very versatile. Top heated leftover latkes with cooked greens and a fried egg with a dash of hot sauce, or a slice of fresh tomato and some lox. 

The sweet and spicy flavors in this dish make it an excellent side for roast chicken or pork, or stir the slightly crunchy carrots into a big bowl of cooked brown rice, and sprinkle with cilantro and toasted sesame seeds or chopped peanuts for extra crunch.
