These latkes were easy and worked out great. I'm surprised about all of the passover comments regarding the flour, he gives a passover option right in the recipe. We will make these again.
Some Clarification on appropriateness of recipe

For the person below who asked whether the recipe was kosher because it contained both milk and eggs, it's perfectly fine -- no problem with both milk and eggs in a recipe. It's milk and meat (and poultry) that can't be mixed by people who keep koshere. Eggs are considered a "neutral" food and can be used for either a meat or dairy meal. As for including this recipe in Passover recipes, aside from the fact that wheat flour cannot be used on Passover, potato pancakes (latkes)are traditionally eaten for the holiday of Hanukah and not for Passover. They could be served for Passover if you use matzo meal instead of flour, but they're not a traditional passover dish.
Potato Latkes are ok.

Tastes Like My European Grandmother Made Them

I made these and they turned out great! the only thing I did differently is: once you grate the potato you squeeze the excess liquid before adding any other ingredients, this prevents the potato latke / platski from becoming gummy - which I did. I also make them as an appitizer for a christmas brunch I just fry 1 Tbs size of mixture and fry till crisp, add a dolop of sour cream , some caviar and garnish with fresh dill. I am not Jewish but I understand some of the reviewers - if certain ingredients can not be used due to religious observences - this probably would not be a proper food for a tranditional Hannaukh spread. Otherwise they are tasty!
Baking Powder? Where's the matzah meal?

OK, perhaps if you are not Jewish and didn't grow up learning to make these at home with your Mom and or your grandmother, you might find them acceptable. But for Channukah, something a bit more traditional is typical. I cringed when I saw the ingredient list.

1) I'm glad to see the little note at the bottom about the necessary alterations to the recipe to make it kosher for Pesach -- unlike some of the recipes, this one's actually done its homework. 2) That said: baking powder in latkes? What the heck? A good latke shouldn't take more than potatoes, eggs, flour or matza meal, and seasonings to taste -- the eggs should be enough to give it fluffiness, if that's your preference. 3) To counteract some of the denseness that might be acquired using matza flour, try decreasing the milk (or removing it -- I've never used it in my latkes, but that's a personal preference) and replacing it with whipped-up egg whites.

NOT FOR PASSOVER

This recipe should not be listed with PASSOVER RECIPES since it contains flour.
Are these really kosher?

I am not Jewish, but have lived with a jewish family for almost a year and I was reading the list and it has eggs and milk going into the same recipe. I was under the impression that eggs are meat and there for you could not have eggs and milk in the same recipe? Plus if you are having meat for passover (such as gefilte fish and matzo ball soup) you can't have these with them. Other than that, I make these a little differently but they are good, the kids like them in th mornings.
Not valid for passover

In reviewing this recipie, you can not use this for passover, because it contains FLOUR, you must use Matzo Meal in place of flour
huge success

We had never made latkes before, and my family is not jewish, but we wanted to celebrate Chanukah in a respectful way. These treats were fun to make, fun to serve, and fun to eat!
