A family staple of any Hanukkah celebration is the perfect potato latke.  I always enjoyed making these with my grandmother during the holidays.  I wanted to share a recipe that is simple but delicious for the perfect latke!

Ingredients include:

2 whole eggs, beaten
1 medium onion, grated
3 potatoes
Matzo Meal
1.5 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
pinch of baking powder
oil for frying

Grate the potatoes and onions by hand or in a food processor.  Drain off as much liquid as possible.  Stir in beaten egg, salt, and pepper to taste into mixture.  Add enough matzo meal (about 3 TB.) to absorb the liquid.  Heat oil.  Drop a heaping serving spoon of mixture into oil.  Brown each side.  Serve warm with sour cream and apple sauce.
