Brisket Potato Pancakes Two Ways
4
Nations Best® Slow-Roasted Brisket turns these fried latkes into a hearty meal or side dish. Applesauce is a perfect foil to the brisket, but Nations Best® Pastrami, Corned Beef, Tongue or Turkey taste great, too.
This recipe can be made two ways. One combines the brisket in the pancake mixture before frying. The other creates a sandwich where the latkes replace the bread, and are filled with the Nations Best® deli meat, applesauce and sour cream.
