Potato Latke Recipe

2 cups grated raw potatoes

2 tablespoons Matzo meal or flour

2 eggs, well beaten

2 cups oil for frying

1 yellow onion (medium) finely chopped

2 teaspoons salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper (optional)

Wash, peel and grate potatoes by hand or food processor. Put grated potatoes in a kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. Add eggs, onion, salt & pepper. Mix well. If batter is too thin add matzo meal or flour. Let mixture stand for 5-10 minutes before cooking. Drop potato mixture into hot oil forming small thin cakes. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve immediately (with applesauce and sour cream).
