Chinese Latkes are a popular snack in China that have gained popularity worldwide due to their delicious taste and easy preparation. Latkes are typically made of shredded potatoes and commonly served during Hanukkah, but this Chinese version adds green onions for extra flavor and nutrition. The latkes are pan-fried until crispy and golden brown, creating a satisfying crunch with every bite. Paired with a tangy dipping sauce, these Chinese Latkes are the perfect appetizer to kick off any meal or party.

Instructions

1.Peel and grate the potatoes in a bowl with cold water to remove excess starch.

4.Meanwhile, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing all ingredients in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves.
5.Sprinkle sesame seeds onto the latkes and serve hot with the tangy dipping sauce.
