Okay, Ore-Ide invented Tater Tots from the trimmings left behind from cutting French Fries. At first they were feeding the trimmings to cattle but then they decided to chop them up, season them and deep fat fry them.
Well, they aren't that far off (like hardly at all) from latkes (sp?). They are just smaller, tot-shaped latkes.
Hmm, maybe if I still need a fix tomorrow I'll stop at BK at breakfast time, since their "hash browns" are basically half-tater tots.
OMG this reminds me of another nom-nom-nommy treat: a brunch place I went to with the McWaringles with had silver dollar potato pancakes with the steak and eggs (and hollandaise). MMMMMM. Silver dollar potato pancakes dipped in hollandaise.

I don't much care for hollandaise sauce.

It might have been bernaise sauce, not hollandaise, now that I think about it, but not a whole lot of difference.
Also, more sauce for me (as my arteries scream in agony).
Me either, Aims! Whoo-hoo!
Also, potato pancakes get applesauce and sour cream. There can be no dispute on this point.
I was just reading up on teh difference between hollandaise and bernaise and was amused to note that there is a "sauce Colbert" in the family: [link]
Phone: Hey, did I say "welcome back" a couple weeks ago? *Ring*
Me: You did not, and I'm a little hurt by that.
Phone: Well, welcome back. *Ring*
Me: Little late now, don't you think?
Phone: Okay, "Polite Time" is done now. Get over it. *Ring*
Fuckcake O' The Day: Blah blah blah, blah blah blah, issue issue, can I fax what I need to get you over?
Me: Certainly. The number is (area code)-(number).
FCO'tD: Would that be "1-(area code)-(number)?"
Me: ... Yes. If you are not in (area code) it would be "1-(area code)-(number)".
FCO'tD: Okay. I'm never sure about that.
...
We've only had this type of phone protocol (add the number 1 before dialing area code and number if your area code is different) for, like, 4,000 years or something! The hell?
Bernaise sounds much less appetizing for breakfast than hollandaise, but YMSMV (Your Mother Sauce May Vary).
I make a bastardized latke with goat cheese and dill that I serve with salmon and a mustard/dill/yogurt sauce. It's non-traditional, but it's nummy. (And no, I would never dream of serving them for Hannukah. I mean I'm not crazy.)
