Directions

In a food processor shred the potatoes & onion. Place the veggies in a clean dish towel & wring & squeeze the moisture out. Once the veggies seem dry place them in a large bowl & stir together. Add the egg, stir to incorporate & then stir in flour. Once all ingredients are together form 4″ patties. I use an ice cream scoop so the latkes will be uniform in size. I pack them either in the scoop or in my hands to release the excess moisture. Drop the latkes in a pan with hot oil. Don’t crow the pan. I cook 4 at a time. This will ensure a nice crispy outside.
When finished put 1 slice of smoked salmon, a dollop of creme fraiche & a small spoon full of caviar on top of each latke. They can also be served as is with a side of apple sauce.
These also make a great hor’dourves for a party.
