Method

  1. 1. Using a clean kitchen towel to squeeze as much excess liquid out of the beetroot, potato and onion as possible. Combine them with the rest of the latke ingredients in a large bowl. Divide the mix in 12 and shape into small round and flat pieces.
  2. 2. Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat, add the latkes and fry for 8-10 minutes, turning to cook evenly on all sides, you will need to do this in batches, keeping the first batch warm as you do so.
  3. 3. Arrange the latkes on plates with the creme fraiche, eggs, trout, roe and dill with some lemon if you like.
