"Bacon bits"?? As in, you don't fry up the bacon and chop it yourself?! Which reminds me of a wonderful frozen-pea salad I haven't made in forever. Anyone bearing food is welcome in my home anytime -- but if you are eating latkes w/out applesauce, I question your judgement. Which also makes me think of strawberries (okay, steam of consciousness) -- dip fresh strawberries first in real sour cream, then brown sugar. Sounds weird, but is awesome. I usually have those on the table as a mini-desert after salmon patties and potato pancakes (NOT the same as hash browns or Latkes!). Now. About the potato salad. My Mother makes a version which everyone in the family declares has a secret ingredient or recipe she will carry to her grave. She's given us all instructions & her recipe but of course no one's tastes like hers. There are umpteen million potato salad variations out there -- w/ and w/out pickles, olives, sugar, etc. What does a real German Potatoe Salat mean to you?
