These ARE potato latkes. Potato pancakes use much finer potato pieces and much more flour and egg. I have a much easier approach. We put all the egg and onion into the blender and puree it (and use one egg for every two medium or every one very large potato) and then add the potatoes in chunks, some at a time. If you like shreds sticking out, save a quarter of the potatoes and put them through a grater or the shredding disk of the food processor, mixing them into the blended mix. This works like a charm and makes great latkes. You still need to cook the latkes as soon as the mix is ready to avoid discoloration. If we need to work in advance, I peel and cut the potatoes in advance and save them in a bowl of ice water until we're ready for the blender and the frying pan.
