Potato Latkes (Pancakes)

5 large potatoes, washed and shredded (I use 3 bags of the Simply Potato shredded potatoes--LOL)
1 small onion grated
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons matzoh meal (it is OK to omit this item)
2 eggs
vegetable oil for frying

Put potatoes, onions, salt, pepper & matzoh meal in a bowl

In another bowl beat eggs, then add to potato bowl and mix well.

Heat oil in frypan, gently drop potato mixture in heated oil

Cook on each side 5-7 minutes depending on how crispy and well done you like them

Place on paper towel to drain.

Serve with applesauce or sour cream

(can substitute sweet potato if desired)
