Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250°F. Set racks in upper and lower thirds of oven. Place wire cooling racks in the rimmed baking sheets and place in the oven.
- Using a food processor with a grating insert, grate the potatoes and then the onions, transferring grated vegetables to a large bowl when the bowl of the food processor is filled. Alternately, use a box grater. Working in batches, place the potatoes and onions in a clean dishtowel and thoroughly wring out the excess liquid over the sink, then transfer the potato-onion mixture to a large bowl. The more liquid you remove, the crispier your latkes will be, so take your time and use several dish towels if necessary. Reserve the potato-onion mixture.
- In another large bowl, whisk together the matzo meal, salt, and pepper. Add the eggs and whisk to combine. Add the potato-onion mixture and mix well.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt equal parts schmaltz and oil (or oil only if omitting the schmaltz) until a scant 1/4-inch depth of fat is reached. Drop 2 tablespoons of latke mixture into the hot fat, spacing them 2 inches apart. Flatten latkes slightly using a spatula and cook, turning once, until crisp, golden brown, and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Transfer latkes to wire racks and season with salt; return to the oven to keep warm; season with salt. As you remove latkes from the pan, replace them with fresh spoonfuls of potato mixture to maintain oil temperature. Add additional schmaltz and/or oil around the edge of the pan as needed to maintain a scant 1/4-inch depth of fat.
- Keep latkes warm in oven and serve hot with applesauce or sour cream.

- Classic Potato Pancakes. This is the classic latke, made with little more than grated russet potatoes and onions, with egg and flour for binding. Season with salt and pepper immediately after frying, then top with applesauce or sour cream.
- Yukon Gold and Jerusalem Artichoke Latkes. Forget regular applesauce—these latkes are served with a creamy applesauce and mayonnaise hybrid that's kicked up with Dijon mustard, horseradish root, and apple cider vinegar.
- Sweet-Potato Latkes. Sweet potatoes make these latkes slightly sweeter than the more traditional version, and we can't get enough. Chopped scallions add a bit of oniony flavor to the batter; you can add more fresh ones on top, along with sour cream if you like.
- Latkes with Lots of Sauces. These latkes get a flavor boost from onion, garlic, and chives. Of course, they're great with homemade applesauce, but the recipe also includes a delicious lox topping made with cured salmon, sour cream, and more chives.

- Crispy Traditional Potato Pancakes. The thinnest, crispest latkes are easy to make. The secret to this Hanukkah specialty: no flour or matzo meal, just russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, onion, scallions, and an egg.
- Potato Pancakes. These extra-crisp latkes have a touch of something special: cinnamon and pepper in the batter. Be sure to fry in small batches so the potato pancakes don't steam.
