A latke is the Jewish name for what us hill folk call hash browns.
One of my favorite ways to cook (what us hill folk call fix) them is to do this.
The secret to make a good crispy latke is the way you fry them.
Do not make the grated potatoes into a hard patty.
Take the grated potato and let them drop loosely into the hot oil so the oil gets in between the potato.
One of the traditional ways to eat them is to put powdered or granulated sugar on them as soon as they are retrieved from the pan.
You have to try this they are out of this world.
I got this idea from a show on TV about Hanukkah a few years ago.
