How do you make kosher latkes?!
Answers: you know latkes chanaukah eat it
Um, I call BS about your pancakes won't be Kosher unless a rabbi makes them! That's funny! Just make them with Kosher ingredients and don't let them touch meat, shellfish, etc.
I was in Cleveland recently and grabbed several kosher latkes from Corky and Lenny's deli. They reheat really well after a couple of minutes in a frying pan. So go that route if you don't want to cook or if you believe that there's a great secret to making Kosher pancakes. Enjoy and happy Chewbacca!
