Potato Latkes with Soy Garlic Sesame Sauce

These little potato latkes are good for lunch, late Sunday breakfast or
light dinner if served with a side of salad. Easy to make and even
easier to eat. Salty soy with pungent garlic and nutty sesame sauce
brings the dish to a next level. It’s not a traditional sour cream
condiment and it makes these pancakes different from their rosti cousin.
