How would I do this and make sure it doesn't turn brown? I would like to prepare the batter up to a day in advance, and then fry them fresh.

I don't recommend this. The batter will separate leaving you with liquid at the bottom and very brown potatoes.

I was wondering about this, too, hoping I could make and freeze batter or something. Oh well.

The only time saving thing I can think of is to shred the onions and potatoes. Put in a bowl of water in the fridge. Then when you want to make latkes, drain very well and mix with the rest of your batter ingredients.

what about making them ahead of time and reheating a couple of days later? Would that make them taste bad?

What about making the batter and then freezing patties raw? Then you can fry them fresh?

I've never done it though.

I once did it for potato kugel. I mixed the whole batter and put it in the fridge covered. The next morning I removed the top layer that was brown and used the rest which was perfect. Just give it a mix once you take off the top layer.
