Wonderful! They came out perfect. Have tried several recipe's and none came out perfect, even the first one! Thanks so much. I went thru your recipe's and made a meal from several of them! Thanks so much for a "perfect" Latke recipe! Served with Sour cream and Applesauce. Yum

This is such a great recipe! My grandma makes these for me with left over mashed potatoes so that takes care of the shortening and baking powder part, but we never had onions in it before. It was such a simple addition, but such a delicious one adding a funner texture to it.

It was a lot easier, when I followed your directions 
. I made the first few too big — used a mixing spoon and not a tablespoon — and they were hard to turn without splattering the oil. I liked using the food processor, rather than the grater, it’s a nicer consistency. It reminded me of McDonald’s hash browns, and I mean that in the very best way... The only change I made was to cut the onion in half, to suit my family's tastes. If it was just for me I'd use your proportions. I'll make these again; it’s a good recipe.
