Hanukkah

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Peel potatoes. Using a box grater or the grater disk on a food processor, grate the peeled potatoes and onions. Transfer both to a kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any liquid.

In a large bowl, combine potato mixture, eggs, matzo meal, baking powder and salt. Season with pepper.

In a 12" skillet, heat 1/4 cup oil on medium-high. Working in batches, add 1 heaping tablespoon potato mixture to pan and press down gently with a spatula to form 1 1/2" circles. Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Transfer latkes to a wire rack set inside a baking sheet. Season with salt to taste. Place latkes in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to pan as needed. Serve with an assortment of toppings.

Tip: Set out a variety of toppings so guests can customize their own latkes. Try classics like applesauce and sour cream, as well as outside-the-box options like prepared horseradish, fresh dill, Greek yogurt, pomegranate seeds and ketchup.
