I just discovered after all these years of being one of the "Latke Queens" at my synagogue that YOU DON'T HAVE TO PEEL THE POTATOES! I hate peeling potatoes! And the latkes don't taste any different.My neighbor would tell you that it tastes better with peels on, than without.. GOOD FOR YOU.. have a Happy Holiday.. :)
