REMEMBER THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS COOK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE OBJECTS THAT COULD BE HARMFUL, LIKE A KNIFE, SO DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO DO THESE RECIPES ALONE.

Crack 2 eggs in a bowl and whisk them together.
Add them to a bowl of grated potatoes and stir them with a wooden spoon.
Add your grated onion and stir them in.
Add flour or matzah meal.
Add some salt and pepper to taste.
In a large frying pan of oil, gradually add wooden spoonfuls of your latkes into the pan. They will fry on one side for a few minutes.
When they’re gold around the edges, turn them over with a slotted spoon.
Let them cook for another minute and then place them on a plate covered with a paper towel. Let some of the oil drain off before you transfer them over. Let them cool.
Place them on a clean plate and serve with yogurt, sour cream, powdered sugar, or applesauce.
