For extra crispy latkes, squeeze out any excess moisture from the potato mixture before frying.
Don't overcrowd the skillet; fry the latkes in batches to maintain the oil temperature.
Keep the fried latkes warm in a low oven (200°F) until ready to serve.
Experiment with different seasonings, such as garlic powder, paprika, or fresh herbs.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

    I've tried many latke recipes, and this one is by far the best. The food processor technique makes all the difference.

  • Erling Davis

    The latkes were a little too oily for my liking. Next time, I'll try squeezing out more moisture from the potatoes.

    My family loved these latkes! I added a pinch of nutmeg to the batter, which gave them a lovely warmth.
