Though fried foods are not generally favored by the health-conscious, it's hard to imagine Hanukkah without them. To make them a healthier treat, fry them in a nonstick Silverstone skillet or griddle with a minimal amount of canola oil, and drain them well on paper towels before serving. If grating potatoes in a food processor, run them through the grater twice, otherwise they will be too coarse. Put the grated potatoes in a colander and let drain for 10 minutes, then press down on them with palms to extract excess liquid. Combine in a mixing bowl with the onion, eggs, and matzo meal. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat just enough oil to coat the bottom of a large, nonstick skillet. Drop enough potato batter to form 2 1/2- to 3-inch pancakes. Fry on both sides over moderately high heat until golden brown and crisp. Drain briefly on paper towels and place in a covered container to keep warm until serving. Serve warm with applesauce.
