Everything Bagel Latkes Recipe | The Nosher

Step 1

Before getting started on the latkes, I advise making the everything bagel topping and the dill cream cheese.

Step 2

Add softened cream cheese to a bowl and combine with fresh dill, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Place back in the fridge until ready to serve.

Step 3

To make the everything bagel topping, mix together the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion and thick sea salt. Set aside.

Step 4

Peel and cut potatoes and onions in half. Peel garlic cloves. Place potatoes, onion and garlic through food processor for a coarse grate (you can also grate coarsely by hand).

Step 5

Place potato mixture to a large bowl.  Add eggs, flour, salt, goat cheese and 2 Tbsp everything bagel topping mix. Heat vegetable oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Form bite-sized mounds of latkes, taking care not to squeeze too much liquid out of the latkes. Fry until golden brown on each side, then place on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet to cool. Immediately sprinkle with a pinch of salt.

Step 6

When ready to serve, spread thin layer of dill cream cheese on top of each latke. Add smoked salmon on each latke and top with sprinkle of everything bagel topping. Serve while still warm.
