Big breakfast latkes from The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook: Recipes and Wisdom from an Obsessive Home Cook (page 31) by Deb Perelman

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Made these for dinner on the last night of Chanukah. My son loved them. I think I would double the recipe in the future so everyone gets two latkes.

    Pretty quick, very tasty, easy. Could add a small amount of shredded carrot, broccoli, kale, apple, etc., for a different flavor. Will definitely make again.

    These did hold together much better than plain hash browns, but they weren't as crispy. Perhaps that was partly because my potatoes were a little past their prime and getting softer? I'd like to try them with half the amount of flour and egg to see if that helps preserve some crispiness while still giving them some structure.

    Appearances aside, this was delicious. The latke was amazing, as these things tend to be, and was the perfect foundation for the egg.
