How to Make Smoked Salmon Latkes

Using a box grater, grate the potatoes and onion alternately. This helps prevent the potatoes from browning too quickly.
Place the grated mixture in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This is crucial for crispy latkes!
Transfer the squeezed potato mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the beaten eggs, matzo meal, and flour until just combined.
Gently fold in the salt, pepper, chopped smoked salmon, and chives.
Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil in each of two large nonstick skillets over medium-high heat. The oil should be shimmering hot before adding the latkes.
For each latke, add about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture to the hot skillet. Use a spatula to flatten slightly.
Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
Remove the cooked latkes and drain on paper towels.
Keep warm in a 200°F oven while you cook the remaining latkes, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the hot latkes immediately with a dollop of sour cream.
Enjoy your delicious homemade Smoked Salmon Latkes!
