Latkes
From an upcoming cookbook by Del Sroufe
I usually make sour “cream” with silken tofu. It is quick, easy and delicious. I have a few friends who can not eat tofu, and when they come over for dinner I make this recipe instead of the one made with tofu. It is equally delicious,and almost as easy.
