Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Using the medium-sized shredding blade of a food processor, grate the potatoes.
  2. Grate onions on top of the potatoes to avoid browning.
  3. Lay a super-clean (and lint-free) dishtowel inside a large bowl and put the grated mixture into the towel.
  4. Roll the towel and wring out as much of the moisture as possible.
  5. Place the mixture in a mixing bowl and add the eggs, matzo, salt, and pepper.
  6. Mix well.
  7. In a large skillet (cast-iron is best) heat about 1/8 inch of oil over medium heat. The oil is hot enough if it sizzles when a bit of potato is added.
  8. Pat out a small tester latke and fry on both sides till golden brown.
  9. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  10. To form latkes scoop about a 1/2 cup of potato mixture and pat into a pancake about 1/2 inch thick.
  11. As you work, liquid will accumulate in the bowl; squeeze out the patties as needed.
  12. After shaping the pancake slip it into the hot oil and press gently with the back of a spatula.
  13. Fry for about 5 minutes on each side until deep golden brown.
  14. Flip each latke only once.
  15. Add oil between batches as necessary; take time to let the oil heat up before adding more latkes.
  16. Drain on a paper towel.
  17. Serve immediately with applesauce and sour cream (ketchup only if you must).
