How To Make potato latkes

• Step 1
  Using a box grater or a food processor with the shredding disk, grate potatoes and onion alternatively. Transfer mixture onto a thin, clean dish towel; gather the corners and holding it over a large bowl, squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
• Step 2
  Don’t discard the liquid yet and let it sit for 2 minutes to let the starch settle to the bottom. A couple minutes later, discard the liquid but keep the starch deposit.
• Step 3
  Put the potato mixture in the bowl. To this add beaten eggs, matzo meal, flour, salt, freshly ground black pepper and parsley; stir until well combined and set aside.
• Step 4
  In a large cast iron pan over medium-high, heat oil and duck fat until it reaches 350ºF. Meanwhile, using a ¼ cup measuring cup, portion the potato mixture and flatten them down to about ½-inch thick.
• Step 5
  When oil reaches the right temperature, gently place the latkes making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side flipping them carefully. When cooked, transfer them to a wire rack sitting on a baking sheet lined with paper towel. If making a large batch, keep latkes in the oven at 170ºF. Serve with apple sauce and crème fraiche
