Fried Potato Cakes (Latkes)

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add cubed potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool and mash.

In a medium bowl, mix grated potatoes, mashed potatoes and onion. Add in eggs, matzo meal and salt; mix well.

Feel consistency of the dough; mixture should hold together without being sticky. If it sticks to your hands, add more matzo meal until dough is no longer sticky.

In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm enough oil to cover 5mm of the frying pan.

When hot, drop mixture by heaping tablespoon to oil; flatten with a spatula and cook on both sides until golden brown. Serve.
