These were excellent! They were fairly quick to make, and they turned out fine when I replaced the matzo meal with flour. I'm going to make them again for Christmas! Thanks for a great recipe!

This was my 1st attempt at Latkes and they were gobbled up by my family. I was happy to use minimal oil rather than overloading on it. I didn't have matzo meal so just used flour. Topped with applesauce - yum!

The easiest Latkes ever! And, I did not need a lot of oil. They were not too greasy...I blot mine between layers of paper towels when I take them off the pan.
