Crispy Latke Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and grate the russet potatoes. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated onion, flour, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  4. 4

    Fry the Latkes

    Using a spoon or your hands, drop small portions of the potato mixture into the hot oil. Flatten slightly and fry until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the latkes are frying, slice the cucumber and prepare the herbed labneh, pickled onions, and smoked salmon.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    Place crispy latkes on a serving platter. Top with a dollop of herbed labneh, slices of cucumber, pickled onions, and pieces of smoked salmon.
