Scrub the potatoes and grate them along with the onion using the large holes of a box grater or a food processor shredding disc.
Transfer the grated potato and onion to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze forcefully over the sink to remove as much liquid as possible.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with sea salt and black pepper until they become slightly frothy.
Fold the squeezed potato and onion mixture into the egg whites, stirring until the vegetables are thoroughly and evenly coated.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Drop the potato mixture into the pan in four large mounds, flattening each gently with a spatula to form a pancake shape.
Cook for 5-6 minutes on the first side until the edges are dark golden and crispy, then flip carefully.
Cook for another 4-5 minutes on the second side until browned and the potato is tender throughout.
Serve the latkes immediately topped with a generous portion of Greek yogurt and a side of applesauce, garnished with fresh snipped chives.
