Heaven on earth, your new year-round Sunday brunch. Get the recipe for Potato Pancakes with Guacamole and Poached Eggs.

My favorite are just plain ole potato latkes and I’m a sour cream girl – no applesauce on my crispy latkes. I like big chunks of onion and lots of black pepper.
I like the Classic!
classic potato though i would like to branch out!
Carrot cauliflower latkes with chili sauce.

I did! Thanks for the idea.
