Here is a revamped version of my Beyond Latke Burger recipe. Making delicious potato latkes with red potatoes and leaving the skin on. Then using them as buns to make a delicious Latke Burger! This recipe also has the addition of what I now refer to as MsVegan Special Sauce. Similar to a Thousand Island but using Capers instead of relish, it's so delicious.
And for anyone who isn't familiar with Latkes. Latke is Yiddish for Pancake. Latkes, or potato pancakes, are a traditional Jewish dish that hailed from Eastern Europe. They have become associated with Hanukkah because they are fried in oil, and oil is symbolic of Hanukkah.
