Potato Pancakes with Sour Cream and Applesauce

Potato pancakes are traditionally served to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, but they can be enjoyed year-round. For the best result, use starchy russet potatoes and be sure to shred them on the biggest holes of a box grater or with the medium or coarse shredding blade of a food processor to ensure large shreds that will cook up into crisp pancakes.
