 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  4                    Potatoes
  1       md           Onion
  1                    Egg
  2       tb           Matzoh meal
    1/2   ts           Salt
    1/8   ts           Pepper, white
    1/4   c            Oil

 add more potatoes for additional people keeping the
 4:1 ratio. Description: Peel potatoes and place in
 cold water until ready to prepare latkes. Starting
 with onions, alternately grate some onions on large
 holes of grater and some potatoes on smallest holes.
 This will keep potato mixture from blackening.  (Or
 use food processor. The steel blade produces a smooth
 textured latke and the grating disk a crunchy one.)
 Press out as much liquid as possible and reserve
 starchy sediment at bottom of bowl. Return sediment to
 mixture, but not liquid. Blend potatoes with eggs,
 matzoh meal, salt, and white pepper. Heat 1" of oil in
 frying pan. Drop about 1 tb mixture for each latke
 into skillet and fry, turning once. When golden and
 crisp on each side, drain on paper towels. Serve with
 yogurt, sour cream, sugar, or applesauce.
