"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?

Very impressive and tantalizing, Julie. May I come  by some time mit some 
German
potatoe salat? (Real bacon bits, of  course.)

Returning to his latkes and sour cream and hoping his doctor  doesn't find 
out,
Walter
