Ingredients:
Peel potatoes and mash until smooth. Add garlic, 1 tablespoon oil, chives and bread crumbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix well. Shape into thin latkes, using about 2 tablespoons batter per latke. Pour about 1/3 cup sesame seeds onto flat plate and press both sides of latkes into seeds to coat.
In large, heavy skillet, heat 1/4 inch oil to 375 degrees. Carefully plate latkes in hot oil and fry on both sides until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with Caramelized Applesauce. Yields 2 to 3 dozen latkes.
