Oooh. What kind of potatoes work best for this? I mean, I only have one type in the house, and I have no idea whether they are baking, boiling, or frying potatoes, but that doesn't stop me wanting to know!

The ones I last used say they are good for boiling and roasting but I fried them and then baked them!! Not sure it matters in this recipe cos they are grated anyway.

I made an approximation, completely missing that the recipe requires onion! But I have some very tasty fried potato product in the oven now.

haha!

I should try latkes sometime. I hate onion so not that, but this reminded me of the other thing. <3

Give them a try, they don't taste oniony, the onion just gives the potato more flavour.
