In a large, heavy-bottomed sauté pan, heat enough oil to coat the pan about 1/8 inch deep.  Fry the latkes on both sides until crispy and golden brown.  Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and allow to drain.  Season with salt while warm.

Whisk together the sour cream and prepared horseradish and serve as a dipping sauce, while the latkes are warm.
