2 large eggs
Kosher salt and pepper
1 lb. beets, peeled
1 lb. medium russet potatoes, peeled
2 medium onions, peeled
3/4 cup matzo meal
1/2 cup olive oil

Directions

1. Step 1In large bowl, whisk together eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
2. Step 2In food processor fitted with large grating disk, grate beets, potatoes, and onions. Add to bowl with eggs and toss to combine. Fold in matzo meal.
3. Step 3Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet on medium. Gently drop 5 large spoonfuls of potato mixture into skillet (about 1/4 cup each), spreading to create even pancakes. Cook until browned, 4 to 6 minutes per side; transfer to plate.
