Latke with corned beef is a Jewish traditional dish that is popular among Americans and Europeans. It is typically served during Hanukkah, but people like to have it on other special occasions or for breakfast. The recipe includes shredded potatoes, chopped onions, and thinly sliced corned beef strips that are mixed together with spices and flour to make a batter. This batter is then fried in oil until both sides become crispy and golden brown. This dish is served with pickled or sweet and sour red cabbage and creme fraiche (or sour cream) for a delicious breakfast. The crispy and delightful texture of the latke with the savory and salty flavor of the corned beef strips make this dish a unique and scrumptious breakfast treat for all.

Instructions

1.Take a large bowl and mix creme fraiche (or sour cream), flour, kosher salt, black pepper, and baking powder together.
2.Add shredded potatoes, chopped onion, and corned beef strips into the mixture, and then stir it until all ingredients combine.
3.Whisk egg whites with a wire whisk until frothy and then add this into the potato mixture.
4.Heat around 1/4 inch of peanut oil or vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
5.Using a spoon, put a small amount of the latke mixture into the frying pan and flatten it to form a small disk. Continue this process until the frying pan is full.
6.Fry each side for 3-4 minutes or until they turn crispy and golden brown.
7.Remove latkes from the frying pan and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat this process until all latkes are cooked.
