Grate the potatoes and the onion coarsely.
Put a clean tea towel in the colander and put in both.
Make a pouch and twist the water out of the potatoes.
Spread the grated potatoes and repeat.
Beat the eggs frothy using a whisk.
Add flour, baking powder, salt and pepper.
Beat until combined, smooth and without lumps
Fold the grated potato into the egg mixture.
Place the pan on medium heat and add some oil.
Spoon heaps of potato into the pan an flatten them.
Fry the Latkes golden on both sides.
Fry the Latkes in batches and adding oil if needed.
Let the Latkes drain on kitchen papier, to absorb excessive oil.
