Potato Latkas with Smoked Salmon and Sour Cream

In a large bowl, add shredded hash browns, beaten eggs, and flour. Using your hands, toss the ingredients together. Next, add the seasonings: salt, pepper, dill, chives, onion and garlic powder, Italian seasoning. Toss with the potato mixture.

In a medium-sized shallow heavy skillet, heat oil on medium high heat. Pour panko bread crumbs in a plate. Take about ½ cup of the potato mixture, form into a patty, and coat with panko bread crumbs on both sides. If it seems to fall apart, don’t worry because it will stick together once it cooks. Place in the pan and cook on both sides for 5–7 minutes, until crisp and golden. Flip and cook on the other side. Place on plate lined with paper towels.

Once potato latkas are cooked, add a dollop of sour cream and smoked salmon on each latka. Garnish with lemon zest and sprinkle with salt.
