Latkes with smoked salmon

Prep and cooking time: 20mins-30mins

Complex carb portions, per serving: 0.6

Ingredients

Serves: 4

250g potatoes, grated

1 large courgette, grated

1/2 small brown onion, grated

1 large egg

2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

100g sour cream or cream cheese

60g smoked salmon

1 handful fresh dill, roughly chopped

1 lemon, quartered

Method

  1. Grate the courgette, potato and onion, and squeeze out the moisture separately by placing in cheesecloth, a clean pair of tights or a tea towel. Drain extremely thoroughly.

  2. Combine the courgette, potato, onion, and egg into a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. With your hands, mould the mixture into 10-12 small fritter-size patties.

  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil and allow it to heat up. Once the oil is hot, place your latkes into the pan for 3-4 minutes on each side, until crispy.

  5. Once the latkes are done, top with cream cheese or sour cream, smoked salmon and fresh dill. Serve with lemon wedges.
