Crispy Potato Latkes with Smoked Salmon

Ingredients

Potatoes

4 medium, peeled and grated

Onion

1 medium, grated

Eggs

2, beaten

All-purpose flour

1/4 cup

Salt

1 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Vegetable oil

1 cup (for frying)

Sour cream

1 cup (for serving)

Smoked salmon

8 ounces, sliced

Fresh dill

2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated onion, beaten eggs, flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated and a cohesive mixture forms.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small spoonful of the potato mixture into the skillet; it should sizzle immediately.
3. Using a spoon or your hands, drop heaping spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, gently flattening each latke with a spatula to form patties.
4. Fry the latkes until they are golden brown on one side, about 5 minutes. Carefully flip them and continue frying for another 5 minutes on the opposite side until they achieve a crispy texture.
5. Once cooked, transfer the latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
6. To serve, top each latke with a generous dollop of sour cream and a slice of smoked salmon.
7. Garnish with freshly chopped dill before indulging in this delightful dish.
