A horseradish-flavored creme fraiche brings zip to these crispy homemade latkes, which get a touch of sweetness from the parsnips. Add fresh dill sprigs for a garnish. —Todd Schmeling, Gurnee, Illinois

Ingredients

  • 1 pound potatoes, peeled
  • 1 pound parsnips, peeled
  • 2/3 cup chopped green onions
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • Oil for deep-fat frying
  • 1 cup creme fraiche or sour cream

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 package (3 ounces) smoked salmon or lox, cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
  • Fresh dill sprigs
  • Lemon wedges, optional

Directions

  • 1. Coarsely grate potatoes and parsnips. Place grated vegetables on a double thickness of cheesecloth; bring up corners and squeeze out any liquid. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in the onions, eggs, salt and pepper.
  • 2. In an electric skillet, heat 1/8 in. oil to 375°. Drop potato mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls into hot oil. Flatten to form patties. Fry until golden brown; turn and cook the other side. Drain on paper towels.
