Steps:
- Grate potatoes alternately with the onion (this keeps the potatoes from darkening), either by hand or in a food processor. With a food processor, either use a fine shredding disk, or cut the potatoes in half-inch dice, and then use the steel blade with an on-off pulse motion to yield uniformly grated potatoes.
- Drain potatoes and onions.
- Mix in eggs, then matzo meal or flour. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour oil into a heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, to a depth of 1/4 inch, and heat. Oil should be very hot but not smoking.
- Using a large tablespoon, form round or oval pancakes about 3 inches across, flattening them in the pan with the back of the spoon. Fry until golden on both sides.
- Drain pancakes on absorbent paper, and continue frying until all the batter is used. Serve as soon as possible. Pancakes can be reheated in a 400-degree oven for about 10 minutes but will not be as crisp.
