2 large eggs
Kosher salt

2 lb. medium russet potatoes
2 medium onions
1/2 cup matzo meal
8 Tbsp. 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 (or on large holes of box grater), grate potatoes and onions. Add to bowl with eggs and toss to combine. Stir in matzo meal.
3. Step 3Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet on medium. Gently drop 5 large spoonfuls potato mixture (about 1/4 cup each) into skillet. Flatten to create even pancakes and cook until browned and crisp, 4 to 6 minutes per side; transfer to wire rack or paper towel–lined plate.
