I have been feeling really down recently because I don’t have any plans for the holidays and I’m absolutely broke. But I do have a couple eggs, flour, and some potato chips 🤍 Thank you, Chef John
You've just enabled me to make potato pancakes despite not being able to physically squeeze enough water out of the grated actual potatoes to keep them from being mushy and disgusting. I've tried for ages to figure out how to make these with literally no upper body strength, and there simply isn't a way, until now. You deserve a g/d Nobel Prize for this hack.
ya know an old family tradition of ours was to have an over easy egg over a tamale because you get the yolk as part sauce that intermixes with the masa and filling. A trade for your hack.
These look fun to make, my granddaughter coming up this weekend and she will love making them with me. Thanks Chef John and Merry Christmas to you and Michelle....
Thank you so much for making this particular video. My mom made these for Hanukkah every year since I was… born. She just died a couple of weeks ago and I can’t find her recipe yet. So again, thank you so much, chef John!
Great idea. Always have some potato chips kicking around. Noticed you were so polite about the amount of apple sauce and sour cream - then stole some from another pancake. Top it like you mean it! Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah.
This is similar to what I'd like to try: dehydrating sliced potatoes to avoid the step of soaking and wringing potatoes. However, this is quicker and easier, and I have potato chips on hand. Thank you for this recipe, John. It's a perfect answer to my question: What to make for myself on Christmas morning?
I wasn't interested in trying potato pancakes until my dad brought me to a small truck stop outside Baldwin, WI. Once I tried their potato pancakes I was hooked. Sadly, the truck stop closed down and I haven't had potato pancakes since.
I swear that's the fate of anywhere that has a good potato pancake. You could have a Macy's that started selling awesome latke's and the entire chain would go bankrupt after you got hooked on it.
Fiendishly clever take on Latkes. Got a couple of huge bags of plain Ruffles in the pantry, so I might give this a shot. Thank you, and have a VERY happy holiday break, Chef John!!!
When I first read the title, I thought it must be a mistake. But your latkes look delicious and I'm going to try this recipe as soon as i can buy the potato chips. Thank you for sharing.

Hey Chef John: I've got one up on you..... Frozen Fries mashed potatoes! Defrost the fries(use thick ones), throw them in a food processor and start adding water. Season with salt, pepper and of course cayenne pepper. Heat them up oven, stove top or microwave. DONE! Happy Chanukah 🕎
I watch this stuff at like 9pm and sometimes stay up till 11pm maybe midnight making this stuff. And of course I eat it and go straight to bed like youre not supposed to. 😊
I'd heard of making potato soup out of those pringles-like processed potato chips because they are basically potato powder pressed in shape, but Latkes was a new idea. Can probably sub the flour for the other kind of potato chips, too.
Thank you Chef John, i believe there is a mistake on your written recipe, it says to use two cups of ground potato chips, and you video says only to use one. When i used two cups the mixture was too dry so i doubled all of the other ingrediencies
This sounds like a good way to use up those small chips at the bottom of the bag that are not as good as the big ones, just collect a few bags worth and make these.
Chef, since potato chips are already very salty could the added amount be too much? I ask bc someone told me crushed up potato chips on top of tuna casserole is good but it was way too salty for me. Is there any reason of cooking them well to put this much salt in?

Ya tell me about it, I just need more stick of butter... All the scrolges took over this year.
Good food is better than any antidepressant.
Merry Christmas my friend! 🎅
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if John created a galaxy custard video?
Sounds like a Christmas Miracle™ to me!
You are after all the Chris Kringle of how to crush your Pringle
Good one!
You are after all the Issac Hayes of your Frito-Lays
Excellent.
My favorite of all time was "you are after all the Seymore Butts... Of deez nuts."
@@jtrain9926 🤣
ah pringles, may contain potato...
This perfectly unites 1AM stoner cooking and high-end brunch. Thanks for the early Christmas present.
I was thinking of different chip flavors to use mid vid but, I was syoned
No stoned person is going to wait an hour for the mixture to thicken up!

Another life hack is to use latkes as the bottom of an eggs Benedict in place of a muffin, which is now my preferred go-to!
Oooh, that’s a great idea, not this version, but real Latke’s! Happy Holidays!
😲😋

I love you. If you ever need a kidney, let me know because this sounds amazing.
@@sagelobuOooh, friend just gave us homemade tamales for Christmas so I can try this today! Thanks for the tip 😋 Happy Holidays 🎉
Re-fried potato chips. Only Chef John could legitimize this recipe.
I'm 100% making these over the weekend, but I'm super tempted to try half normal potato chips and half sour cream and onion flavored. Wish me luck.
Godspeed and good luck. Please let us know how it works out
These look fun to make, my granddaughter coming up this weekend and she will love making them with me. Thanks Chef John and Merry Christmas to you and Michelle....

Happy Christmas Chef
Love that You used ‘fresh water’ in the latkes 😋

Thank you for this recipe, John. It's a perfect answer to my question: What to make for myself on Christmas morning?
I quote your cooking wisdom CONSTANTLY! I love you as a human being. One of my favorites for sure.
I've been using these chips as substitute of breadcrumbs for my cutlets. This new idea gives me life! Cheers Chef John!
So you kinda...rehydrated potatoes...But made them so so so much better! Love the idea!
HAPPY HANUKKAH 🕎

We love latkes, thanks so much for this easy recipe!

Merry Christmas Chef John and Michelle, from Tasmania.
Happy Hanukkah, love from Israel. Thank you Chef John for teaching me how to become the cook I am today
Happy Hanukkah, and blessings to you and all of Israel,
Finally, something that can be done with otherwise inedible 'no salt' potato chips. (:
Spanish tortilla also an elite option
Im ngl I love a good no salt potato chip
Merry Christmas 🎉🎁🤶❄️❄️❄️
I love potato pancakes, but I'm not crazy about making them. This is something I am definitely going to try! Thanks, Chef!
pure genius recipe hack.....I'm making these!...Thank-you, Chef!
Happy Chanukah Chef John and fam...
This looks so beautiful i want to cry
Wouldn’t it be beautiful if John created a galaxy custard video?
@griffinellison3409 Are you talking about the galaxy chocolate or a galaxy pattern, that would be 2010s in a good way btw.
Thank u so much for this EASY potato latka recipe!😋♥️
Have a Happy & Healthy Holiday🌟🙏
Did he say "exfoliate your hands?" 😂
Nothing like dead skin cells in your potato latkes. 😂
You mad genius. This is brilliant.
I now want jalapeno latkes.
Thanks for the great recipes and videos Chef John. Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah!
These are a little mind-blowing and look absolutely delicious!
Oh I will be making these! Yummmmm Have a very Merry Christmas tomorrow 🎄
Brilliant. I can't wait to try them! 😊
This looks like such a good recipe to make with the grandkids. Merry Christmas, and thank you.
Kudos for being so innovative!!!
This is a very interesting method for making Potato Pancakes, and I will have to give it a try, as they look perfect.
Are they an improvement on just skipping the work and eating the potato chips?
Oh yes, you can tweak with the flavors.
Yum! Yum! Thanks! 🙏❤️🙂
When I first read the title, I thought it must be a mistake. But your latkes look delicious and I'm going to try this recipe as soon as i can buy the potato chips. Thank you for sharing.
Hey Chef John! Welcome to the tribe!
Chef John, you are an American treasure.
I really didn't hear much after the exfoliation, that sprained my brain.
Mine too! Yuck!
Looks amazing!

Happy Hanukkah & Merry Christmas, everyone!
You've inspired me, Potato Chip Latkes Eggs Benedict. Latkes topped with a poached egg, crispy bacon bits and a hollandaise sauce.
How innovative! I can't wait to try it😊
This looks amazing 🤩

I'm gonna try making these for New Year's.
I'd heard of making potato soup out of those pringles-like processed potato chips because they are basically potato powder pressed in shape, but Latkes was a new idea. Can probably sub the flour for the other kind of potato chips, too.
Finally a way to eat more oil per chip than just eating chips.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa to all
Even Hadrian Caesar can't resist these!
This takes literally almost no effort as a side dish and looks delicious, sometimes this is precisely what I need.
HAPPY HANUKKAH!
Going to try these latkes. They look so good!
Thanks Chef, Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas! I’m wondering what brand kettle chips?😊✌🏻
What weight of potato chips produces 1 cup of potato chip bits?
Great kitchen hack!
Wouldn’t it be great if John created a galaxy custard video?
Chag Sameach Chanukah, Chef John!
wow, that is genius, thank you
Ive done Kenji's spanish tortilla with salt and vinegar potato chips, I will definitely be trying this
This looks yummy. Chef John is awesome.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if John created a galaxy custard video?
Thank you so much for a Jewish video. Y'know, jewish-ish, latke on Hanukkah video. These look really amazing and I can't wait to try it.
Brilliant❤
Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Put on your Yamuka
Happy Hanuka
For every latke, a shot of vodka!
oh man, and with some salmon roe, sour cream, capers and dill.....
This is amazing... I think backpacking chefs everywhere are thinking, "that would work..."
Wow amazing
Happy Hanukah!
Edit:
עם ישראל חי וקיים לנצח נצחים!!!! ❤
Now to try to find Kettle potato chips in the UK. Or, I should say potato crisps.
Edited to add: Yes! Amazon does have them!
Thanks; now I know what to do with the bottom portion of the bag of chips that are too broken for dipping.
Internet: Well of course fried food is good.
Chef john: But what if we used fried food to make the fried food?
Internet: 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Based on the thumbnail, I didn't know what to think about these, but now I will make them.
Thank you
Chef John: crush up some potato chips. Me: SOLD!
Our Eastern European variant while containing onion is served with sour cream and granulated sugar :-) yum
Thank you Chef John,
i believe there is a mistake on your written recipe, it says to use two cups of ground potato chips, and you video says only to use one. When i used two cups the mixture was too dry so i doubled all of the other ingrediencies
Happy Christmas eve and thanks for a year of great recipes!
I wonder if these would work in the air-fryer 😋
Wait! You say 1 cup of potato chips in the video but 2 cups on the written recipe!
you start with 2 cups of potato chips to get 1 cup of crushed chips, it's in the written recipe
Consider using peanut oil, if it's available and you can use it fry these.
Think, Five Guys french fries. They are cooked in peanut oil 😊
what a great idea
Neat recipe
Those are kartoffelpuffers and I'm a kartoffelpufferesser
Please pass the Sour Cream ❤
This sounds like a good way to use up those small chips at the bottom of the bag that are not as good as the big ones, just collect a few bags worth and make these.

Hand defoliate counts as seasoning
Should top them with some sour cream and onion dip. But this is something I definitely want to try.
For weeks I’ve been wondering what to do with the broken up chips in the bottom of the bag…thanks.
Removing dead skin in the chips I'm about to eat is crazy 🤪
I have made something similar with tortilla chips.
Do I still get extra credit for using crème fraiche?
You're the Michael Phipps of fried potato chips
