Steps

  1. Grate the potatoes and onions.
  2. Place grated potatoes and onions in cheesecloth or a fine sieve. Squeeze mixture well to drain excess moisture, which will ensure proper frying.
  3. Mix drained potato and onion mixture with egg, matzo meal, and salt.
  4. Heat oil in a 10-inch (25 cm) pan over medium heat until it is quite hot. Drop 1–2 tablespoons of the potato mixture per pancake into the pan. Flip partway through the cooking to allow both sides to fry.
  5. Serve with applesauce, sour cream, and/or sugar as a topping.
