Latkes are the quintessential Hanukkah food.
They are also labor intensive, oil laden and disappear in mere moments after hours spent making them for your hungry family.
This rendition is so easy you can make it in your dorm room with little more than a bag of tater tots, a sprinkle of seasoning salt and a toaster oven.
Little latkes emerge hot, golden-brown and ready to be smothered with sour cream.
Never fear, The Basic Kitch is here.
First you squish the tots.
Salt and oil makes them tasty.
A little time in the toaster oven and then sour cream completes the magic.
BONUS: Watch the previous episode of The Basic Kitch: Your toaster oven wants s'more of these donuts.
