- Our favorite Method: Cut the potatoes in smaller chunks then put all ingredients into a food processor until pasty. Alternative if you don’t have a food processor: Grate the potatoes and onion using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated potatoes and onion in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes and onion with beaten eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined.

- Latkes are traditional Jewish potato pancakes, made by combining grated potatoes, onions, eggs, and flour or matzo meal into a batter, then frying them in oil until golden and crisp. They are often served with applesauce or sour cream, especially during Hanukkah celebrations. The latka itself has evolved over time, with variations in ingredients and preparation methods across Jewish communities. Monica's favorite recipe is below.
