For me, these are pure joy and comfort in 2-3 bites

Makes 8-10

2.5lbs Russet Potatoes - Peeled and Grated on a Box Grater

1 Medium Yellow Onion Peeled and Grated

1 Heaped tsp Salt

2 Large Eggs

1/4 Cup Matzo Meal

1/2 tsp White Pepper

1 Cup Canola Oil

Heat the oil over medium low heat in a large pan.

Place the grated potatoes and onions in a large clean cloth. Squeeze out as much liquid as you can and transfer to a bowl. Add the salt, eggs, matzo and pepper. Stir gently to combine.

Test the oil by placing the handle of a wooden spoon in the pan - if small bubbles appear around the wood you are ready to fry.

Gently place approximately 2 tablespoons of the latke mixture in to the hot oil and gently press down. Don’t overcrowd the pan - work in batches.

Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes a side.

Remove and drain on paper towel, sprinkle with a touch of salt.

Serve with sour cream or labneh and applesauce.
