I am a bit shocked my awesome readers didn’t share my Muffin Recipe over 200 times. Not a problem at all I know you all will love this super easy to make Potato Latkes recipe. I wanted to keep a mild theme of potato’s and bacon in my recipes this month. You can clearly see that with my favourite potato recipe. I really wanted to make a recipe that was picked by the readers.

I use this Potato Latkes recipe a lot. I use it as an appetizer or more of a snack before the main meal. It keeps people calm (I hate the “Is dinner almost ready?” questions), subsides some hunger and gives me enough time to prepare some of my favourite meals. Take for example my Pork Recipe or my Ultimate super Cheesey Lasagna Recipe.
