These make-ahead, extra-large latkes are here to make hosting easier, whether you’re serving up a big holiday dinner or a casual brunch. Making two skillet-size latkes rather than a bunch of smaller ones means a faster, smoother road to party time. Plus, their size increases their capacity for retaining both properly crisp lacy edges and fluffy-soft interiors when made ahead. Serve them right away or cook a batch in advance and pop them in the oven to reheat before serving. Set out your favorite toppings—we love fresh herbs, sour cream, and plenty of applesauce—and let your guests slice and garnish their own pieces.
