Damn dude you got me wondering if I can fry latkes into taco shapes this year.
The sauce you made sounds delicious on potato and the sour cream makes it a natural pairing for latkes. Beans as the protein element would keep it kosher.
I think you're onto something really cool here and the photo makes it look absolutely delectable.
When I told my wife latke tacos she thought I meant latke as the shells. So you are on her wavelength. I'm considering it in the future with the beans as filling like you are. Gotta make the "shells" thin enough to fold but crispy enough to hold.
Here is the sauce I used. But cut it in a quarter for two people.
I make a rather thin hash brown by grating potato onto a paper towel lined plate with onion before putting another paper towel on top and microwaving for 2 minutes to par cook the potato before frying. I think it should be doable to use a similar technique to thin sheets of potato, just need a sort of maybe foil made mold to hold them while frying.
If the shaping become a problem, maybe latke tostadas instead?
I make something like that during Hanukkah already with bbq pulled chicken for latkes that have been fried in schmaltz. It seems like an easy thing to do a tostadas variation
