Latkes-Bleenies are a traditional Jewish dish that is often served during Hanukkah. These crispy potato patties are easy to make and can be enjoyed as an appetizer or side dish. The grated onion and eggs add extra flavor and texture to the potatoes, making each bite a delicious treat. These latkes-bleenies are best enjoyed hot and crispy, straight out of the frying pan. They are often served with applesauce or sour cream, which balances out the savory flavors of the potato mixture.

2.	Grate the onion and mix with the potatoes.
3.	Add the eggs, matzo meal or flour, salt, and pepper to the potato mixture. Mix well.
4.	Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
5.	Spoon the mixture into the pan, forming small patties.
6.	Fry the patties until golden brown on both sides, flipping once.
7.	Transfer the latkes-bleenies onto a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve hot with applesauce or sour cream.
