Ingredients

Method

Peel potatoes. Peel and quarter onion, leaving root end intact. Alternating potatoes and onion, coarsely grate into large colander; squeeze or press out as much liquid as possible. Transfer to large bowl; stir in egg, matzo meal, salt and pepper.

In large skillet, heat enough oil to come about 1/2 inch (1 cm) up side of pan over medium heat. For each latke, spoon 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into oil, pressing lightly with fork to flatten and leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) between latkes.

Cook, turning once, until golden brown and edges are crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain on paper towel–lined baking sheet. (Make-ahead: Transfer to rack and cover with paper towel; let cool. Set aside for up to 2 hours. Remove paper; place rack on baking sheet. Bake in 350?F/180?C oven until heated though, 10 minutes.)
