  3. I was wondering what to do for lunch. We just made a small batch (there are only two of us, and we’re not big eaters). I shall make them again. I may vary them with the addition of spinach or kale; or maybe cheese. Mmmm. Ooh. What about cheese and cumin?

    1. This is a basic recipe. Here in Latvia, we top the pancake with sour cream, cream cheese, bacon or salamon. I would love to hear from you when you try with kale or spinach.

      1. Just tried with more onion (one medium onion to two potatoes) and added in some chopped smoked salmon. I also coated with a mix of breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese, and served with butter sauce. Delicious!

      1. It’s a cooking weekly challenge. I challenged myself to cook at least one dish every week as cooking is my favorite hobby. Just doing it for the past couple of weeks. Lately, I am planning to cook recipes of our blog world friends and link it back to their blog. Please do check out the cooking challenge category of my blog. Thanks.

    1. Do you still make latkes yourself? It must be special to recreate that recipe and bring back those memories. I find that cooking family recipes is a wonderful way to keep our traditions alive and feel connected to those who came before us. I’d love to hear more about any other dishes your grandmother used to make or if you’ve added your own twist to her recipe!
