Instructions

Remove the Liquid: Place about 4 paper towels folded in half over a medium size bowl and add the potatoes and onions. You can use a cheesecloth as well. Gather the corners of the paper towels up and squeeze as much of the liquid out of the potatoes and onion as possible.
Mix: Transfer the potatoes and onion to another bowl. Add in the egg, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper. Mix everything well and set the batter aside while the oil heats up.
Cook: Add the oil to a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the mixture onto a flat spatula and flatten it with your fingers to form a patty. Transfer this to the skillet and repeat until the skillet is full, but don't overcrowd. Cook about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Adjust heat if necessary. Repeat with remaining latkes.
Finish: Transfer the cooked latkes to a paper-towel lined plate plate. Finish cooking the rest of the latkes.
Serve: Serve with sour cream or applesauce and enjoy.
