We made these last night and they were wonderful. We didn’t try the garlic topping and it seemed to be more than garlicky enough without it. I also added the garlic (used a garlic press) and parsley to the latkes after shredding and I used matzo instead of flour. (Caution you must love garlic)
We have made these twice and they are by FAR my favourite latke recipe ever. We have a huge jar of garlic so we added about 5 or 6 tsp and didn’t add more to the top. PERFECTO! Even better with sour cream. The second night, my husband used prepackaged hash browns. I told him they wouldn’t be as good…but I was wrong! These are a MAINSTAY now…we LOVE them!
