I so want to like latkes (potatoes! fried! with sour cream and/or applesauce! what's not to love?), but every one I've tried (and I will always try latkes) is too... heavy or oily or something that doesn't let them sit right in my stomach. I have the same problem with hash browns too, though.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I looooove latkes, but stupid potato allergy is stupid.
With the frozen hasbrowns, you wouldn';t be able to do that magic drain the shredded potatoes and re cover the starch from the water thing. I don't know how much difference it would actually make to the final product, but some, surely. Definitely less magic. But if it's that or no latkes, worthwhile I'm sure.

At one point I was making latkes ... from a mix, if I remember correctly ... and I'd eat them with sour cream that I'd mixed with some lemon juice. It helped cut the oiliness (also I'd drain them well on a thick layer of paper towels).

I ate all of the potatoes at Thanksgiving and need to scale back on the spuds, but now I want latkes. I may still have some TJs potato pancakes in the freezer...

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
So, the federal government is closed tomorrow, but I'm still going to work as usual. The part of the lab I work in processes samples from patients in the Clinical Center, which is open regular hours tomorrow. And Wednesday is generally the busiest day of the week there. Sigh...

I found myself wishing that Sully the assistance dog would bite Trump as a last service to GHWB, but my prayers went unanswered, not to mention he's probably too well-trained for that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The food section of the paper had information on making latkes from packaged hash browns (frozen? dried? I'm not sure).
That's how I made mine and they came out perfectly.

Do you think I can make cauliflower latkes?

I don't see why you couldn't?

Our wings are not tired.
Latkes sound like a good idea, but unless someone wants to make them for me it isn't going to happen.
Went to Costco to pick up Zoe's drugs, and they had to ask my address because they had 2 Zoe Holts in their system. Huh.
