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.

They turned out wonderfully! So nicely in fact that I made them again adding green peppers, shredded carrot and a little jalapeno. Not the traditional way, but equally delicious! :) I was so excited to find this recipe. They turned out wonderfully!

Maggie - i really like your topping idea. It's just apple sauce - for some reason, I just don't get it as a latke topping. Could be habit? httpmom - i hope you take the crown with this - the starch thing is super clever, no? let me know how it goes! Annie – i’m glad you’re here to stay – let me know how they turn out!
