Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 Potatoes
1 md Onion
1 Egg
2 tb Matzoh meal
1/2 ts Salt
1/8 ts Pepper, white
1/4 c Oil

add more potatoes for additional people keeping the
4:1 ratio. Description: Peel potatoes and place in
cold water until ready to prepare latkes. Starting
with onions, alternately grate some onions on large
holes of grater and some potatoes on smallest holes.
This will keep potato mixture from blackening. (Or
use food processor. The steel blade produces a smooth
textured latke and the grating disk a crunchy one.)
Press out as much liquid as possible and reserve
starchy sediment at bottom of bowl. Return sediment to
mixture, but not liquid. Blend potatoes with eggs,
matzoh meal, salt, and white pepper. Heat 1" of oil in
frying pan. Drop about 1 tb mixture for each latke
into skillet and fry, turning once. When golden and
crisp on each side, drain on paper towels. Serve with
yogurt, sour cream, sugar, or applesauce.
