omg. i just made the best latkes. THE BEST LATKES!

the secret was combining half shredded potatoes with half mashed (slash food processored really smooth) potatoes, to create a thick, soft latke with some architectural oomph.

oh who are we kidding. the secret was frying them in about a quart of oil.

Oh man oh man oh man does that sound delicious. Question though, do you have to go through the whole boiling process to get the potatoes to mash, or do you somehow do it while the potatoes are still raw? This sounds amazing man, I ain't no jew by no occasion, but man I want to make these so bad. And shove some down my family's rather un-Jew throats.

I highly recommend them! I cut the potatoes into one-inch cubes and boiled them for about twenty minutes in salted water (basically boiled the heck out of them -- softer than I'd cook them for regular mashed potatoes), and whipped them in a food processor.
