- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped (about 1 ¼ cups)

Preparation
- Combine all ingredients in large bowl. Heat 1 Tbs. oil in large skillet over medium heat. Scoop ½ cup potato mixture into skillet and spread into ⅛-inch thick patty. Repeat. Fry patties 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Cook remaining latkes in batches of 2, adding 1 Tbs. oil to skillet each time.
