Peel the potatoes and onion.
Grate the potatoes and onion using a box grater or food processor.
Place the grated potatoes and onion in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This is key to crispy latkes!
In a large bowl, combine the squeezed potatoes and onion, eggs, matzah meal, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of a spoon.
Fry the latkes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the latkes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately. Enjoy with applesauce or sour cream (if serving non-Kosher style).
