Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
  • 2 tablespoons matzo meal, or more as needed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, or more as needed
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Applesauce and sour cream for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place 1/4 of the potatoes, onion, matzo meal, eggs, salt and pepper (start with about 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper) in a food processor. Mix until the vegetables are finely chopped. Add the rest of the potatoes, and pulse again until all the potatoes are finely chopped and the mixture is thoroughly combined.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop up about 1/3 cup of the potato mixture per latke, and place into the hot oil. Fry the patty until brown and crisp on the bottom, flip it, and cook the other side until brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. If the potato mixture doesn't hold together, stir in more matzo meal by the tablespoonful till the mixture holds.
  3. Make patties with the rest of the potato mixture, adding oil as needed. Place fried latkes on paper towels to drain off excess oil. Sprinkle with more salt to taste, if desired. Serve with applesauce or sour cream.
