Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup (flaked) Cooked salmon
- 1 small (grated) Yellow onion
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.33 cup (for frying) Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup (for serving) Sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 4 slices (for serving) Lemon wedges
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment.
Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This ensures the latkes will be crispy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, flaked cooked salmon, grated onion, eggs, flour, dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato and salmon mixture into your hands and form a small patty. Gently place it into the hot oil. Repeat with remaining mixture, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Cook each latke for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer cooked latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the salmon latkes warm with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
