  1. Squeeze the grated potatoes and onions dry by using tea and cheese clothes
  2. In a bowl, mix the squeezed mixture along with eggs, crushed matzo breads, and potato starch topped with salt and pepper
  3. Mixed them well until they become dough-like
  4. Make the latke patties from the dough (The thickness depends on individual taste.)
