2 onions -- coarsly chopped

3 large eggs -- lightly beaten

2 to 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour or matzah meal

1 to 2 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

canola oil

 

Peel and cube potatoes; place in a bowl of cold water until ready to prepare

latkes. (The cold water prevetns the potatoes from turning dark and allows you

to prepare them a few hours ahead.)

 

Drain potatoes. Place potatoes and onions in the container of a food processor

and pulse until smooth. Drain excess water from mixture.

 

Pour potato mixture into a large bowl. Stir in eggs. Add flour or matzah meal,

1 tablespoon at a time until the mixture holds together as a wet paste. Season

to taste with salt and pepper.

 

Pour oil into a large deep pan to a depth of 1 - 2 inches and heat over

medium-high heat.

 

Carefully drop several heaping tablespoons of potato mixture into the hot oil;

flatten slightly. Fry for several minutes on each side until golden brown.

Drain on paper towels.

 

Serve with sour cream and applesauce.
