Homemade Applesauce With Potato Latkes – A Positively Perfect Pair!

According to Plated.com – “Latkes are fried potato pancakes traditionally served during Hanukkah—the 8-day Jewish holiday sometimes called the “Festival of Lights.” They are typically prepared by combining grated potatoes with eggs to form a batter, formed into small pancakes, then fried in oil. If desired, applesauce and sour cream can be served alongside hot latkes”. Growing up in New York City, eating Jewish food was an integral part of our food repertoire. I came to love the decadent flavors of foods like the potato knish, pastrami sandwiches, matzo ball soup, and especially rugelach!  

Watching them fry is a visual experience too. Waiting for these perfectly peeled potatoes to brown really gets your mouth-watering! 

Once you’ve made your own applesauce, you will buy never buy store-bought again! And, kids love this duo! It’s good for them too! It’s a family-friendly dish for sure. 

I’ve made this recipe several times already and we just can’t get enough of them. The applesauce is the perfect combination of sweet, warm, and savory. The Potato Latkes are crispy and perfectly fried to perfection! Homemade Applesauce with Potato Latkes is truly one of the best comfort foods you will ever experience. I made them for dinner and didn’t miss eating meat at all. At the end of the meal, we felt satisfied, comforted, and our palettes were in a state of bliss!

When you are grating the potatoes, be sure to use a grater with large enough holes as you will want a long thicker potato consistency. You can use on a box grater or if you have a handheld grater that will work perfectly fine too! 

The latke mixture is so easy to make – for that matter so is the homemade applesauce. That’s another reason to love this Homemade Applesauce with Potato Latkes pairing! All healthy and simple ingredients and deliciously decadent at the same time.
