One of those good home cooked meals that takes about 20 minutes - just enough time for the noodles to be ready!
Although these traditional crisp potato latkes are best made just before serving, you can make them ahead and reheat them in the oven. They are a bit fragile when not fully cooked, so turn them with a spatula while holding the tops down with a fork or second spatula.
