Shredded and squeezed potatoes, onions, egg and mazto meal if I have it. If not I use flour. I also add a bit of potato starch.

I'm also going to make a sweet potato/apple latkes this year. I've never done it and I thought I would give it a try. Same technique but with sweet potato and apple with cinnamon.

I fry in peanut oil for the best flavor.
