These thin onion and potato pancakes make a tasty accompaniment to any meal. The key to their crispiness is draining all the liquid from the grated potatoes and onion before frying.

I can tell that not a really orthodox jew made this recipe. I'm an orthodox jew and i'll tell you what a good latka is to be like, use as many potatoes as you like with the equivalent amount of eggs, for example 5 potatoes to 5 eggs, spice it well : red pepper, garlic powder, black pepper and salt, sufficient oil in batter and for frying, with a little seltzer to fluff it up. ladle in heaping spoonfuls in oily pan, do NOT deep fry - oil may just about reach a quarter lenghthwise into latka. Let cook on each side until well golden, ENJOY IT'S YUMMMMMMY Traditional Jewish latkas - Happy Chanukah.
