My (fairly religious) aunt introduced me to latkes when I was a kid and it became a lifelong love affair.
I love a good latke, but a bad latke is a very sad thing indeed.
She was (is) a great cook, they were always light and fluffy. Usually we'd have them with applesauce but sometimes she'd make them with a lot of onion and we'd eat them with ketchup.
Ew. I don't know about ketchup. We always have sour cream.
I love my aunt and have very fond memories of oniony, ketchupy latkes but I don't eat ketchup with my potatos anymore lol.
In my defense, I was a child. I'm not even sure where she came across them, we're not Jewish (we were Baptists, from the midwest).
She also makes an onion pie that's pretty great.
