Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionPreheat oven to 350°.
Peel potatoes and place in cold water.
In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and pepper to taste.
Pat potatoes dry and grate on the large holes of a grater. (Long grated shreds are best.).
Place grated potatoes in a large bowl, add onion, and toss.
Add flour mixture and toss, breaking up clumps. (This may take a bit of time, as the dry ingredients must be well distributed.) Add eggs and combine well.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat about 1" oil over high heat.
Test heat by carefully dropping a little piece of potato in the oil.
If it bubbles violently, the oil is ready.
Using a slotted spoon, place spoonfuls of potato mixture (drained of excess liquid) into oil.
Fry until just golden, about 2 minutes on each side. (They will not be cooked through.) Drain on paper towels.
Continue until all potato mixture is used.
Note: As you get toward the bottom of the bowl, the potatoes will be wetter.
They will need to be pressed and will take a bit longer to cook.
Arrange latkes on a baking sheet; transfer to oven and bake for about 10 minutes on each side.
They will turn a rich golden brown.
Season with salt to taste.
Serve with applesauce and sour cream, if desired.
