Just Enough Latkes and Rösti

"The potatoes in the crisper are starting to get starchy, which is a good thing for this dish, the starch helps the potatoes adhere. Some recipes call for the shredded potato to be soaked to wash the starch off, I am sure there is a reason for it, but when shredding and cooking ONE freaking potato, I am not about to dirty more dishes. You can even get in a debate about whether the potato should be cooked beforehand. I suggest you do it as your mother did, it will make you feel better.
I used one small potato for the Rösti and came up with one very delicious pancake. I used a larger potato for the Latke since it has to carry all that egg and ended up having 4 small to medium Latke. So the size of the dish depends on the size of your potato."
