Grate peeled potatoes and onion on the large holes of a box grater directly onto a clean kitchen towel.

Transfer the potato mixture to a large bowl and add the eggs, matzo meal or panko crumbs, salt and pepper. Stir to combine thoroughly.
04 -
For cheese-filled latkes, take a cheese curd and press the potato mixture around it to form a patty. Place on air fryer tray.

Preheat oven to 375°F on air fryer setting. Line air fryer pan with foil, place mesh tray on top and spray well with cooking spray.
06 -
Drop 2 tablespoon dollops of latke mixture onto the air fryer grate. Flatten tops to make small pancakes. Spray the pancakes thoroughly with cooking spray.

Air fry for 8-15 minutes or until crispy and golden brown to your preference. Repeat with remaining latke mixture in batches as needed.
