Number Of Ingredients 9

Canola oil, for frying
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
6 ounces egg matzo
1 cup cottage cheese, preferably 4 percent
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons snipped chives, plus more for garnish
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 slices smoked salmon (about 1/4 pound), for garnish
Horseradish Cream for Matzo Latkes

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small skillet set over medium-high heat. Add onions, and saute until translucent; set aside. Place matzo in a food processor, and process until coarsely ground; you should have 1 1/2 cups crumbs, or meal. Set aside. Place cottage cheese in the clean bowl of the food processor, and blend until smooth.

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Cook latkes, turning once, until browned on both sides. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Roll salmon slices into rosettes. Serve latkes with a dollop of horseradish cream and a salmon rosette; garnish with chives.
