If you cant find or dont have creme fraiche try: ...Take 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and 1 tablespoon of buttermilk. Shake and let sit on kitchen counter for 12-16 hours until thick enough (depending on the temperature in the kitchen.) Then refrigerate. Voila...fresh.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of smoked salmon. The latkes were still delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly and the latkes were still too oily. I think I'll try using less oil next time.

These potato latkes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The smoked salmon and creme fraiche were the perfect accompaniments.
