    I just used regular onions and it was delicious. I never would have thought of using the potato starch!!!

    These are wonderful. I grated the onions so they would mix in, talk about taste! The outside was crispy, the inside was like velvet. This is a keeper. I'll be making these Christmas morning. Thank you Ina!

    I made about 120 Latkes using your recipe for our holiday celebration. I found the latkes a little heavy. When I made them at home I used all purpose potatoes and added a little baking powder (one teaspoon to the Matza meal to the recipe. My version came out light and airy with nice little crunchy crispy potato "straws" on the edges. I served them with both apple sauce and sour cream to my guests so they could use what they wanted. I served them as a hot appetizer for my party. My guests loved them. I wanted to share my little tweeking of your recipe because I got such rave reviews.

    I loved these. I pan fried them with clarified butter rather than veg oil. They held together great and were very tasty! I will be making these again! I served them with both apple sauce and sour cream. YUM!

    I made a batch for my co-workers and they were a huge success. A food processor helps greatly to speed grating up.

    I like recipes that have really simple ingredients and techniques. If you're looking to make "great, classic ANYTHING" ......just follow the recipe STUPID and stop whining! This is a simple, great, CLASSIC recipe and you don't have to be Jewish, pretentious (you just THINK that's how your grandmother made them, grandmothers always had a little magic up their sleeve to make them. In case you haven't looked, of the HUNDREDS of latke recipes online, they all have essentially the same ingredients. This isn't a recipe as much as it is a tradition!!!! Make them over and over, for your family and friends, maybe yourself and EAT!!!! Happy Chanukah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Every single year I have been making Latkes for Chanukah but this year, I wanted to try something different. For my home economics class at school this week, we competed in an eighth grade Iron Chef. The secret ingrident was squash so I made squash Latkes. I would definitely make them again. So, instead of the potato, try using 3/4 cups of butternut squash for this recipe. I guarantee you will love it!
    What can I say, traditions change!
