Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Push the potatoes through the fine grater disc of the food processor/blender.
Step #2 Remove & drain in a sieve, pushing well to get out as much liquid as you can.
Step #3 Fit the double-bladed knife to the processor & put in the onion, salt, eggs, pepper & 2 tbsp flour.
Step #4 Process briefly, add the grated potatoes & give another pulse or two until the mixture is pulpy but not puréed.
Step #5 Add more flour if it's at all runny as opposed to just a sticky, thick mess.
Step #6 Fry the latkes in lumps of about 1 tbsp each in a heavy frying pan with hot oil.
Step #7 The oil should be about 1 cm deep & it should take 3-5 mins a side or even less.
Step #8 Flatten them slightly when you turn them over.
Step #9 If making ahead, at this point you can spread the latkes out on a baking sheet & let cool.
Step #10 Keep overnight in the fridge or freeze & when you are ready to eat them cook in a 200 C oven.
Step #11 It will take 5-7 mins if they're from the fridge or a bit longer if they're frozen.
Step #12 When ready to serve, top this with a little smoked salmon & a dollop of creme fraiche & a sprig of dill.
