Depends on how big you make them, but it should make around 20-30 latke and actually should serve more than 4-6.
What is 4-6 servings considered? How many does this make altogether?
Wonderful! The gruyere doesn’t come through very strongly so if you wanted to leave it out for a meat meal you could still make these.
