Nana's Hanukkah Latkes

Makes about 50 latkes

These are messy to make and the house will smell of grease for about 2 days but they are SO good it’s worth it - Happy Hanukkah.

ingredients

1
Grate onion, put in large bowl. Grate potatoes in processor and put in a large colander sitting in a large bowl of cold water to keep the potatoes white. If they start to turn color, rinse (in colander) with cold water and they will whiten up again.
2
I take handfuls of potato, squeeze out as much water as I can and throw them into the bowl with the onion. Add eggs, meal and seasoning. Stir well. To make the batter looser, add more eggs and meal. Eye ball it.
3
Heat oil (if not hot enough the oil will soak into the pancake), drop batter by spoonful, flatten with the spoon so they are thin, then fry until golden brown on both sides. Try to turn them over 1 time.
4
Spread brown, paper grocery bags on counter and use these to drain grease - works much better then paper toweling.

1
When cool, flash freeze on a cookie sheet and throw into a freezer bag.
2
To serve - put frozen pancakes on a jelly roll pan (if you use a flat sheet, the grease will spill over into the oven). Heat at 450° for about 5-8 minutes - you will see them sizzling in the oven.
