Lacy latkes & smoked trout

Prep time: 10 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Serves: 5

Ingredients:

  • 2 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 finely chopped onion
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Fresh pepper to taste
  • Canola oil
  • 200 g hot-smoked trout
  • Sour cream
  • Fresh dill

Method:

Grate the potatoes using a box grater and transfer to a clean towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out liquid to make potatoes as dry as possible.

Combine with eggs, onion, all-purpose flour and salt. Season with fresh pepper.

Heat a large frying pan over medium. Add enough canola oil to reach 1/2 in. up the side of pan.

Add heaping tablespoons of latke mixture, 4 at a time, to frying pan, and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.

Cook in 3 batches, adding more oil as needed. Drain latkes on paper towels, then transfer to a serving platter.

Divide trout over latkes, then top with a dollop of sour cream and sprigs of fresh dill.
