Back in the 50's my Baptist mother learned to make latkes from our Jewish landlady. I've never managed to duplicate them but I wish I had some right now.
The only thing that would make those latkes better is if they were fried in bacon fat!
I'm not Jewish, but I love the crispy goodness of potato latkes! Had some this weekend and I want some more! I'm so fortunate that my Jewish friends introduced me to this when we were in grammar school. Of course I returned the favor of introducing them to crispy chinese duck/pork.
My mother called them platkes
I am as much a WASP as the day is long, but I have to say that latkes are delish!
