Rosemary Cheddar Potato Latkes

Indian Pudding
Indian Pudding is not hugely popular, especially in the Western United States. In fact, I bet you that most people have never heard of it. The recipe came from the North East – Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. It is very easy to make and extremely low budget.
