There’s no question that potatoes make some of the world’s favorite comfort foods – from fries, to creamy mashed potatoes, to tater tots. But there’s not a whole lot of nutrition or flavor in potatoes alone, so in this updated latke recipe we’ve added carrots for sweetness, flavor, and extra vitamins!
Served hot and crispy with a generous spoonful of sour cream and chives, these latkes will hit the spot on any night. Get ready to roll up your sleeves and fry, baby!
