Ingredients:
3 pounds baking potatoes, peeled
1 medium onion, chopped
1 whole egg, plus 1 egg white, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons flour or matzoh meal
1/2 to 1 cup vegetable oil for frying


How to make this recipe:
Grate potatoes and place in strainer or colander. Squeeze out as much moisture from potatoes as you can. In a large bowl, combine potatoes with all remaining ingredients, except oil.

Heat about 1/4 cup oil in large frying pan until very hot. Drop 2 to 3 tablespoons potato mixture into pan for each latke. Use back of spoon to flatten mixture so that each latke is about 3 inches in diameter. Fry over medium high heat about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and keep warm in a 250 degree F oven. Continue, using more oil if necessary for each batch. Serve hot with applesauce if desired.

Makes about 32 latkes.
