Did you mean spoon? Just curious. Everytime I try latkes (not this recipe but similar) they always come out raw on the inside. I am not sure if I am using too much batter or not frying long enough or need more oil or should use a lid or should completely flatten them etc. Same thing happens when I try to make zucchini pancakes or anything else.

Hope this helps! Happy Hannukah.

If you're going to keep the starch in anyway, why wash it off the potatoes at all? Is it to keep the potatoes from going brown? I have a canister of potato starch in the pantry. I wonder if there's an optimal amount, and if adding extra would help... What I don’t get is what the soak in ice water is for.
