I tried to make these tonight. I wasn't successful. I lined the sheets with foil first to make cleanup easier and the latkes stuck! I ended up giving up, getting as much latke off the foil as possible and frying them in a pan. They ended up being great anyways! By the way, I have also made them with the fine plate to grind the potatoes as well with great success. With both methods I drain them in a fine mesh strainer. I make mine with a little baking powder to make them a little lighter. Happy Hanukkah! Good idea with the baking powder, Sue. I'm sorry they stuck to the foil; if I try lining a pan with foil, my stuff ALWAYS sticks. That's why I don't line pans with foil. I honestly didn't have any problem cleaning my pans after frying these. A layer of non-stick vegetable oil spray laid down before the oil seems to help. Sorry for your trouble... PJH
