Cheesy Jalapeno Latkes With Avocado
Why not add some southwestern flare to your holiday favorite? Opt for a block of cheese over the pre-shredded variety; when grated by hand, it will brown nicely in the pan and make for extra crispy latkes. Also: to ensure it stays bright green, slice your avocado after the pancakes are made and drizzle it with a bit of lemon.
