Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1 inch pieces.

Add 3 potatoes worth of the potatoes into a food processor.

Roughly chop the onions and divide them evenly depending on how many times you need to process the potatoes.

Pulse the potatoes and onion into small pieces, roughly the texture of apple sauce.

Pour the mixture onto a tea towel or paper towels and squeeze out the excess water.

Repeat these steps until all the potatoes and onions have been processed.

Heat some vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Place a heaping tablespoon of the latke mixture into the oil, flatten, and fry until the edges become brown, between 3-5 minutes.

Flip and fry until the other side is brown.

Place them onto paper towels to drain the excess oil, then place on a baking sheet, salt, and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.
