1/4 cup grated fresh onion [How do you grate an onion? I got a pulpy mess and switched to just finely chopping it.]
Pulpy mess is exactly what you get. It releases all those oniony juices and blends the flavor evenly.
As for your potatoes changing color, mix the egg and onion together FIRST, and add the potato to the egg/onion mixture.
The way I make latkes (not as healthy, since I fry them) is to run the onion and the potato through the food processor with the chopping blade (not the shredding blade). It's a different texture, and I like it both ways, I just find the chopping blade to be less work. Grating the onion with the potato keeps the potato from turning pink (and later black).
