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

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment.

Step 2

Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This ensures the latkes will be crispy.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Serve the salmon latkes warm with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
