Ingredients

2 servings
  1. 1 lbpotatoes (I think I used Russet)
  2. 1small onion
  3. 1/2of a beaten egg
  4. 1 tbsflour
  5. to tasteSalt and pepper
  6. Frying oil
  7. Smoked salmon
  8. Sour cream
  9. Capers
  10. Fresh dill
  11. Lemon wedges

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Shred the potatoes and onion into a bowl (I use a box grater).

  2. 2

    Mix the grated potatoes and onion together, then squeeze the mix hard to get rid of as much moisture as you can (I do this by hand in batches).

  3. 3

    Thoroughly mix the flour and 1/2 the beaten egg into the potato and onion mix. Season to taste.

  4. 4

    Heat the oil over high heat. I use soy bean oil and fill the saute pan with enough oil to cover the bottom of the saute pan with about 1/4 inch.

  5. 5

    Mold the mix into balls using your hands, place the balls in the oil, then press with a spatula to flatten them a bit.

  6. 6

    Cook on both sides until crispy and brown.

  7. 7

    Remove the pancakes from the oil and place on paper towels or metal drip rack to remove grease.

  8. 8

    Top with salmon, sour cream, dill, and capers, garnish plate with lemon wedges, and serve while pancakes are still warm.

  9. 9

    Bask in girlfriend's appreciation.
