    <![CDATA[<ol>
	<li>Dissolve vitamin C tablet in 2 tablespoons hot water in a small bowl.</li>
		<li>Shred the potatoes using first the shredding blade and then the metal blade of the processor (or use a hand shredder). Place in bowl with vitamin C.</li>
		<li>Shred the onion in the food processor just as you shred the potato; add to potatoes. Stir in the eggs, salt, baking powder,  and matzah meal until incorporated. </li>
		<li>Pour 1/4 to 1/2 inch oil into a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Once oil is to temperature (you can check by sticking a wooden utensil into the oil and seeing if bubbles form), spoon 2 tablespoons potato mixture into hot oil. Do not crowd. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon.</li>
		<li>Fry pancakes until golden on both sides, turning once. When you reach the end of the batter, pat the mixture with a paper towel to remove excess liquid.</li>
		<li>After frying, remove the pancakes to paper towels to drain. Serve with applesauce and/or sour cream, if desired.</li>
