Your students participation in the exercise is dependent on their age, of course. This is a great time for parents to get involved!

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 potatoes
• 1 onion
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil

METHOD:

1. Wash and peel the potatoes. Then grate them and place them in a bowl of cold water. (This keeps them from turning brown while you work on the other steps).
2. Peel and chop the onion into very small pieces.
3. Beat the egg in a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped onion, salt and pepper, and flour.
4. Drain the potatoes in a colander and squeeze the excess water out with your hands. Add the potatoes to the other ingredients and stir until well blended.
5. Heat half of the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop the potato mixture in by the tablespoon and cook until browned on both sides.
6. Drain on paper towels. Continue making latkes until the mixture is used up, adding more oil as necessary.
7. Serve warm with applesauce or sour cream as a topping.
