Combine breadcrumbs, salt, baking powder, and pepper in a small bowl.", "Using the large holes of a box grater or a food processor, grate potatoes and onions. Transfer to a large kitchen towel. Gather ends of towel in each hand and twist over sink, wringing out as much liquid as possible. Open towel; toss mixture to loosen. Wring out again (excess moisture will lead to soggy latkes).", "Transfer potato mixture to a large bowl; add breadcrumb mixture and egg.
