   I had to look up what Latke meant. And man, I have never had a latke before! Where did you get this mix? Wegmans?

   Not sure my mother bought it. I think though, that there is no need for a box. It looked just like cut up potatoes fried in a pan.

   The box is probably using potatoes that are peeled and washed. It tends to be kind of bland.
   
   Really good homemade latkes get a lot of their taste from leaving the skin on and the juices intact (kinda like with fresh-cut french fries). I also found out the hard way with the first batch I ever made (10+ years ago) that you have to add egg+onion, otherwise the latkes come out as hash browns instead of potato pancakes.
