Probably dried out and possibly hard. IMO, proper latkes should have a bit
of oil to them and the distinct crispness of being fried. No method but
frying truly produces that. It's like the difference between really good
french fries and <even good> oven fries. No comparison. Of course, there
must be some people who prefer to bake them, but I hope they don't invite
me.
