Step 1.

Grate potatoes and onions together using a hand grater or food processor. Place the potatoes and onions in a large strainer, cheesecloth, or towel. Squeeze over a bowl.

Step 2.

Transfer potatoes and onions into a large mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients (except the oil) as well as the potato starch from the bowl to the potatoes and onions. Mix.

Step 3.

Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees to keep prepared latkes warm. Pour oil into heavy bottomed skillet to a depth of  ½ inch. Heat over medium heat.

Using an ice cream scoop, spoon a portion of the potato mixture into the oil. When the latke is golden brown on one side (3-5 min), carefully flip and cook on the opposite side.

Step 5.

Transfer latkes to paper toweling. Keep warm until all latkes are cooked. Serve with sour cream and/or applesauce.
