Post flu shot & feeling like crap, I made one of my favourite #lowSpoonMeals on Monday. I love homemade #latkes even more than I love Scottish potato pancakes (please don't tell my long departed grandmother). Grating potatoes and squeezing them out and frying them up feels like a huge amount of work when I'm having a flare. This is my lazy solution to get the flavours I want and seemed seasonally appropriate as well.

Lazy Almost Latkes

Premade hash brown patties (I like them in the air fryer best because I set a button and forget about it, but you do you. A toaster oven is a great one too.) Make sure your hash brown patties don't contain tallow if you are kosher or veg, they occasionally do.

I top them one of two ways...

1. Lox, sour cream, capers and red onion.

I sometimes mix everything but the lox all together with a little garlic, lemon, salt and pepper if I'm feeling the energy. You can also use candied salmon or hot smoked salmon if you can't get lox. It's still tasty!

2. Sour cream and apple butter or apple sauce.

The whole thing usually takes about 10-12 minutes to pull together.

I hope this is a low spoon #recipe you can add for your bad days too. Just because you are tired, doesn't mean you can't eat nice things. We deserve good eats as much as the next person. Sometimes it just needs to get creative. Follow all my recipes and tips with #ouchThatsTasty
