Make it together
- Wash and peel the potatoes. An adult grates the potatoes and onion; squeeze out extra moisture using a clean towel.
- Mix the grated vegetables with eggs, flour and salt.

Family safety note
Hot oil, the grater and stove are adult jobs. Check egg, wheat and dairy needs. Families have many latke traditions; adapt this version to yours.
