Ingredients

  • 4 medium to large russet or Yukon Gold potatoes (2 pounds total), peeled

  • 2 large yellow onions

  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten

  • 1/3 cup matzo meal

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • Black pepper to taste

  • 3/4 cup peanut oil

Directions

  • Grate the potatoes and onions and squeeze in a dishtowel to remove excess liquid. Add the remaining ingredients (excluding peanut oil for frying) and mix well.

  • Form about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into a pancake about 1/2 inch thick. Repeat until all latkes have been formed.

  • Heat a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet with 1/8 inch of peanut oil over medium-high setting.

  • Place the latkes in the hot oil and lightly flatten with the back of a spatula. Fry until the latke is a deep golden brown color, flip, and repeat until all latkes are cooked. Frying should take about 3 minutes per side.

  • Place the latkes on paper towels to drain before serving.
