Hot Potato.

Pan-seared tofu night at Vedge Loft. I was craving mashed potatoes for a side. He was considering hash. We came up with this starchy compromise, and the only thing missing was the applesauce.

You could call these latkes, but they're more cake-like, not as flat. I like this style best...
