We love to eat potato skins, but I got tired of just using the starch that we scooped out for mashed potatoes. I thought: 'Hmmm, latkes, that could be interesting.' So I tooled around with a the basics of latkes until I had a recipe that I liked. They were such a hit with the family that it's been a staple ever since.

Steps:
- Pour potatoes, onion, garlic, salt, ground peppercorns, flour, and eggs into a bowl, respectively. Fold mixture together with a rubber spatula until ingredients are well coated with egg and garlic, salt, and pepper are evenly mixed throughout. Break up any large potato chunks.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Form latke dough into baseball-size balls and flatten into 1-inch thick rounds.
- Working in batches, place latkes in hot oil and cook until edges are a rich brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip latkes using a slotted spoon and cook until crisp and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool.

[email protected]These latkes were a bit too crispy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them to be a bit softer.
Raul Reyes
[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my latkes turned out really greasy. I think I might have used too much oil.

[email protected]Delicious! I made these latkes for a brunch party and they were a huge hit. I will definitely be making them again.

[email protected]These latkes were good, but not great. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different type of potato. I used russet potatoes, and they were a bit too dense for my taste.

[email protected]These latkes were a disaster! They fell apart in the pan and were more like mashed potatoes than latkes. I don't know what I did wrong.

[email protected]These latkes were a nice change of pace from my usual potato pancakes. The baked potato gave them a slightly sweeter flavor that I really enjoyed. I also liked the crispy texture. I will definitely be making these again.

[email protected]I love the idea of using baked potatoes for latkes! It makes them so much easier to make. And the results are just as delicious. I will definitely be adding this recipe to my regular rotation.

[email protected]Meh. Not bad, but not great either. The flavor was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll stick to my regular potato pancake recipe.

[email protected]These latkes were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I used Yukon Gold potatoes, and they worked perfectly. I also added a bit of garlic and onion powder to the batter for extra flavor. Will definitely be making these ag
