I agree with Erica…being Polish and raised in Baltimore, I ate latkes several times a week growing up. My Mother used grated raw potatos (including the skin), a little flour, a little shredded onion, salt & pepper, maybe an optional egg to hold everything together, and that’s all. The secret to frying them to crisp perfection is to use lard, yes, lard, or any leftover grease, NOT oil (we didn’t have oil in the ‘olden days when I was little’ as my kids used to say. Yum.

I prefer making latkes with shredded potato (or shredded zucchini or carrots, mmm!), but a creamy-smooth potato pancake tastes more decadent somehow Thanks for posting the recipe, I’m inspired for tomorrow’s meal…

These were a favorite in our house when I was growing up. I still love them. I don’t usually add flour or onion to mine, tho. My husband and the kids didn’t want the onions. Boo on them. lol
