When Im standing for long hours in kitchen.... making potato latkes... roasting tomatoes... and preparing Shrimp Cocktails, I need two of my important companions: A glass of drink to sip along and some lite music playing on my Spotify Station!While our recent trip to Walmart to buy groceries and ingredients for appetizer sampling, I came across Walmarts huge Phone and electronics section! They have a very good collection of electronics to make holiday entertaining - a piece of cake! We dont prefer a costly unlimited post-paid plan for our phones. So for all of my holiday cooking, even testing recipes in general for blog, I use T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Core Prime with T-Mobile Simple Choice™ prepaid plan.

You dont need a whole lot for these mini potato latkes.Im certain you can tell from number of Roasted Tomatoes post I have that I love love roasting tomatoes. I highly recommend roasting the cherry tomatoes for this recipe. Roasting concentrates the flavor of already sweet cherry tomatoes.... which compliments the savory potatoes latkes and smoked salmon. Freshness of sour cream makes every bite even more scrumptious and little hint of chives tie-up the beautiful red-green-white Christmas holiday theme. Ingredients for latkes (or mini potato pancakes) are very simple and easy to find. A lots of time frozen hash-browns are used for latkes... you can do that if you dont want to grate fresh potatoes. I, however, prefer fresh grated potatoes with moisture dried-out using paper towel. This really helps make crispy and delicious latkes!I hope you enjoying the week so far and are all set to have great holidays! Do you have a holiday playlist? I would love to hear your favorites?
