Ah latkes (potato pancakes)

One of those few Jewish Eastern European foods that can be modified for the gluten intolerant.
 
I replaced the AP flour with potato starch. Easy, peachy, it works. I experimented and did not add the egg and it worked.
 
I made them savory, with scallions. This is a once a year treat though....my kitchen is an absolute mess!!!!
 
Ah, but our yearly treat...and the parrots liked them...what is not to like in fried tater cakes?

<<doesn't care for latkes; too much grease, and the potatoes remain too raw.

The best potato pancakes are those made from mashed potatoes and cooked on a cast-iron skillet with lots of real butter.

1. If your kitchen is a mess

I suspect that you aren't doing it right. When I make latkes, I have either a grater or a food processor (depending on how energetic I feel) to clean, along with one bowl, the frying pan and some utensils.

2. I made a full dinner.

And yup, used a food processor.

The above's the whole campfire; the oblate spheroid doesn't draw an audience well in the cooking and baking forum.

She wishes she didn't know all that shit.

By the way, I wonder if the oblate spheroid knows this:

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY: Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (37 AD)

Nero became emperor of Rome by murdering his mother and step-brother. His respectful treatment of the Senate made him a popular emperor in the east, but his reign was marred by unemployment and a major revolt in Britain. After a fire ravaged Rome in 64 AD, he persecuted the Christians as scapegoats. With his reign in decline, Nero went on a murderous rampage, was condemned by the Senate, and chose suicide over execution.

Maybe she's his reincarnation.

Easy peachy.  Makes me laugh.

If she was a nice lady, I would think that saying was kind of cute.

You suspect?   Dude, no need for such diplomacy.
