Garlic Parmesan Potato Latkes. As a terrific side dish or with a weekend brunch, nothing beats these flavourful crispy potato pancakes.

Garlic Parmesan Potato Latkes, makes a great side dish for many meals.
These crispy fried potato latkes have been a popular side dish at our house for many years. It’s a great recipe just plain or to experiment with by adding such things chopped onions or fresh herbs.
My personal favourite is the garlic and parmesan version shown. It’s a great side dish that we serve with grilled steak, chicken or pork chops or even as an addition to a quick supper with some leftover ham or chicken.

Two thumbs up from the kids on this recipe too; they love ’em.
This recipe dresses up nicely as a great hors d’ouevre as well. A bite sized latke with a dollop of sour cream and topped with smoked salmon, prosciutto, roasted garlic, finely chopped spicy sausage or even caviar can make quite the impressive little nibble.

Brunch is a big thing at out house too and we often serve them as part of it or as part of “Breakfast for Dinner” another family tradition around here. Here you can see we’ve served them with scrambled eggs and some quick cooked fresh tomato compote.

The tomato compote is a quickly sautéed chunky sauce that takes just minutes to prepare. You can find the Tomato Compote recipe here. The compote can be made with crushed chili paste or chili flakes if you like a little spice. If you don’t, it’s easily omitted.

Barry, your presentation and photography are OUTSTANDING!!!!! (mind you, of course, all of your recipes are out of this world!). Why don't you have your own cooking show? I never thought of adding garlic and parmesan to Latkes, because I ususally serve them with breakfast. What a great idea as an accompaniment for lunch or dinner! Another WONDERFUL recipe, Barry! Thank you for sharing all your tips too. I look forward everyday for your "Rock Recipes" email.

I made these and added some chives and they turned out wonderful. Just reminded me of my grannie's (from Change Islands) homemade tater tots (which she called potato puffs) back in the day.

Great recipe as always from your site!! Had a similar recipe years ago I’ve been trying to find… grated potatoes were rinsed in ice water, squeezed out and added to a flour, salt, baking powder mix moistened with beer. Fried in oil, they puffed up a bit, sprinkled with garlic salt and served with various dips was a knockout Friday nights after the long work week. Any ideas??? Cheers!
