Although latkes are traditionally made for Hanukkah, these potato latkes have a Mexican twist. The addition of coriander and hot pepper sauce gives them a distinct flavor. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the salsa adds a fresh and tangy contrast. These latkes are perfect for appetizers or as a side dish to your favorite Mexican meal. Beware, they are addictive and disappear fast.

Instructions

1.Grate the potatoes and onion in a food processor.
2.In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, onion, egg, lemon juice, coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3.Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Drop the potato mixture by spoonfuls into the oil and fry until golden brown and crisp on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
4.In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, celery, scallion, parsley, salt, vinegar, garlic, and hot pepper sauce to make the salsa.
5.Serve the latkes hot with the salsa on top.
