Smoked Shavings & Potato Latkes

Great latkes are best made with starchy potatoes. They brown best and deliver crispy edges and soft centres. It is best to make them to order as potatoes oxidise quickly. Be assertive with the salt and whip the egg whites well, they create a lighter fluffy latke. Be sure to get the oil hot enough to crisp crust. There’s nothing worse than a soggy latke!
