From this old gal FB

4 large Potatoes

1 large Yellow/Brown Onion

4 large Eggs

⅓ cup Matzo Meal

1 Tablespoon Potato Starch

2 teaspoons Kosher Salt

½ teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper

½ teaspoon Baking Powder optional

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Wash Potatoes and peel. Run through Food Processor to grate and then place in a Bowl with cool waters. Set aside.

Rinse out Food Processor and grate Onions. Place Onion in Tea Towel or Paper Towel and squeeze out all liquid.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together Eggs. Add Salt, Pepper, Matzo Meal, Potato Starch, Baking Powder (if using) and grated Onions.

Drain Water from Potatoes and save the Starch left in the Bowl. Squeeze out all water from Potatoes and add to Onion Mixture. Scoop out the Starch from the Potato Bowl and add to Latkes mixture.

Generously spray Silicone Trays with Oil. Fill each well with the Latkes Mixture and generously spray with Oil.

Air Fry at 350 degrees for 6 minutes. Remove Air Fryer Basket and pop out Bites into Air Fryer. Spray generously and cook for 4 additional minutes at 400 degrees. Serve with Applesauce and Sour Cream.

Notes

Baking Powder is optional. It will add to the fluffiness of the Latkes Bites. Traditionalists did not use it, so if you want to stay to old world tradition, don't use it. For a fluffier Latkes, toss it into the batter.
