Peel the potatoes, using starchy potatoes like russets or Yukon Golds.

Cut the potatoes to fit into the sleeve of a food processor.

Using the shredder blade on a food processor, shred the potatoes. Alternatively, a box grater can be used.

Place the shredded potatoes in cheesecloth and wring out as much moisture as possible.

Measure 2 cups of the shredded potatoes into a medium bowl.

Grate enough onion to make 1 tablespoon and add it to the potatoes.

Lightly beat 3 eggs and pour them into the potato mixture.

Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of flour and 1.5 teaspoons of salt; mix everything together.

Pour 1/2 cup of peanut oil into a large skillet set over medium-high heat.

Once the oil is hot, place 6 equal spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the pan.

Fry the latkes for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Once cooked, drain the latkes on paper towels.

Serve the latkes hot with applesauce, sour cream, and green onions.
