Made from scratch, easy mini Potato Latkes topped with sweet roasted cherry tomatoes, smoked salmon, and cooling sour cream! This scrumptious appetizer not only has festive colors of red, green, and white but also is very easy to prepare. Seriously, latkes are ready by the time cherry tomatoes roast in oven..... then just assemble and serve! How easy does that sound?

I'm huge fan of cooking a lots of food for holidays. For the record, there is something really special about cooking and serving homemade food to friends and family!

Our holiday dinners are mostly just special friends and family..... and whether it is our house or someone else's, I'm often in-charge of bringing appetizers and hearty sides. So every year, my practice and sampling session starts way before Christmas time. You know what? When I'm 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!

Oh, and don't forget to buy good quality smoked salmon. You don't need a whole lot for these mini potato latkes.

I'm 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 don't 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!
