I was trying to decide which baked latke recipe to follow and after reading all the reviews about this one, I had to go for it and boy, am I glad I did. These were delicious and I felt good about eating them plus they really are easy to make. I've tried other latke recipes but this is definitely the best. Thanks so much for this fantastic recipe!

We love latkes, and this recipe did not dissapoint. Easy enough for a quick dinner. My flour is a white/wheat blend and I left off the salt and pepper because I served them with homemade applesauce. Also, just sprayed my pans with spray instead of using the oil called for. Lovely dinner. Good consistency and every bite was enjoyed!

These were good. I was surprised by how crispy they got just from baking and not frying. I used pre-shredded frozen potatoes, cause i'm lazy and put the chives in the potatoes, not just to garnish. Very good, thanks!
