Why does a potato have more voltage?
When two different metals are pushed into a potato a voltage can be measured across the metals. The same is true for many fruits and vegetables. The reason is that chemicals, normally acids, in the fruits or vegetables react with the metals and generate a voltage. Good metals to try are copper and brass but others are worth using as well. The chemical compositions vary and so does the voltage. Potatoes are known to give a higher voltage than many others. For those who have the inclination, try various metals and fruits to find the highest voltage. It is this same principle on which batteries are based. Unfortunately, fruit is not quite as good as a purpose made battery so don't expect to be running any high power devices from a lemon when you try it.

Latkes are potato pancakes prepared for Hanukkah, a Jewish holiday that in addition to other things, celebrates the 'miracle of light'. This refers to the fact that after the Maccabee Jews defeated the Greek Syrians and came back to light the Menora of the Temple in Jerusalem, there was no more pure olive oil to be found, except for a small amount that ended up miraculously lasting for eight days (until more could be found/processed).
Because oil is part of the miracle, oily foods tend to be eaten as a symbol. Latkes are thus potato pancakes made with oil.
Latkes are potato pancakes, often served as part of the Jewish Hannukah celebration. Some people like them with sour cream, but I prefer mine with a little butter and applesauce.

How long do you parboil potatoes for Delmonico potatoes?
To be honest par-boiling potatoes is the same no matter what. Cover the potatoes in the pan with water and bring to the boil, then turn down until they are simmering. Leave for about 3-5 minutes but this can vary greatly depending upon potato type, size and surface area. Basically, keep checking on them until you can insert a knife into about 0.5 cm of them easily. Hope this helps

The above is probably good advice, but what the above answerer didn't say is that he/she probably spent the next 12 hours on the johnny with a wretched case of diarrhea. The fact is that the potato plant, like all others in the nightshade (as in "deadly nightshade") family contain a toxin called solanine which is poisonous to humans.
Potatoes that have been exposed to sunlight during development will turn green and can contain unacceptable levels of this toxin as do all the above ground parts - the leaves, stems and berries.
Potato varieties that are sold for human consumption contain low levels of solanine, provided the potatoes develop underground. Varities that have high levels are not marketed for consumption.
A few other plants that are in the nightshade family solanaceae are tomato, deadly nightshade and tobacco (which contains more than a thousand toxins).
My research says yes, I have also found that they enjoy copious amounts of human flesh
