What a tempest in a frying pan! I'm no gourmet cook, but how hard is it to make good latkes? If you have a grater or food processor, it takes about 2 minutes to prepare the ingredients and another five minutes to fry. This isn't Cordon Bleu cuisine we're talking about here. Of all the traditional Jewish foods, latkes are among the easiest to prepare, topped only by matzah balls (and why anyone would bother to buy a mix for those, I cannot fathom).
So if the question is whether latkes are easy enough for a man to prepare, I'd say that even the most befuddled husband should be able to turn out a decent batch. Whether he'll clean up the splatters is a different story.
