These are some excellent traditional potato latkes. They are really simple to make, but frying them can take a while.
Servings: 22 latkes feeds about 5-6 people
Ingredients:

| 3 large | eggs |
| 0.25 <a href="javascript:openCalcWindow(0.25000, 'cup')">cup</a> | oil |
| 1 medium | onion |
| 0.25 <a href="javascript:openCalcWindow(0.25000, 'teaspoon')">teaspoon</a> | pepper |
| 8 medium | potatoes |
| 0.5 <a href="javascript:openCalcWindow(0.50000, 'teaspoon')">teaspoon</a> | salt |
Directions:
Chop the onion and peel the potatoes.
Grate the potatoes. This can be done easily with a food processor.
Place the grated potatoes in a bowl with cold water. Let them soak for about 5 min. (This is a good time to do some dishes). Strain the grated potatoes well, use a towel if necessary.
Beat the eggs lightly with a fork.
In a large bowl mix the onion, potatoes, eggs, salt and pepper.
Heat some oil in a frying pan or griddle. Spoon out fairly thin 4-inch diameter potato latkes. Press them flat with a fork. Cook on each side for about 5-7 minutes until they turn golden brown. Add oil in between batches as necessary.
