Re: Latlke recipe for kids
Ooops, someone forgot to put grated onions in the recipe. With 5 potatoes you need at least one large or 2 smallish/medium size grated onions. Adding the onions might mean a little more flour might be needed due to moistness of onions. Geshmucht! This is how my mother made them. Can't come any better than that.

Adding onion keeps the potatoes from turning black. If you drain the grated onion/potato mixture in a clean towel you can drain the water very quickly and thoroughly then add eggs and matzoh meal (need much less now that the water is removed) and seasonings. Makes a white, light textured latke.

My mother always added a bit of onion and we sprinkled sugar on top instead of applesauce.
Geshmucht!
