SIMPLE COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES
These are an old favorite of mine. I use small-curd, low-fat cottage cheese. They come out thin and delicate, somewhere between a classic pancake and a crepe. A nice addition to a reduced-carb diet.

COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES
A breakfast of cottage cheese with ketchup and pepper might seem scandalous to some, but to President Nixon it was standard morning fare. The cottage cheese in these flapjacks adds nice texture and an old-fashioned flavor reminiscent of blintzes. If you want to top them with something red, I suggest strawberry syrup.

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.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup matzo crumbs, cottage cheese, sauteed onions, egg, and 2 tablespoons snipped chives; season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Place remaining 1 cup ground matzo in a shallow dish. Evenly divide chilled mixture into quarters, and using your hands, flatten each part into a 4-inch round. Dredge in ground matzo, and set aside on a plate.
- 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.
Tips:
- For crispy latkes, use a combination of ricotta cheese and cottage cheese.
- Add a tablespoon of matzo meal or flour to help bind the latkes together.
- Grate the potatoes and onions by hand for a better texture.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the latkes. Give them enough space to spread out and cook evenly.
- Serve the latkes hot with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, or smoked salmon.
Conclusion:
Cottage cheese latkes are a delicious and easy-to-make twist on the classic potato latke. By using cottage cheese, you can create a lighter and fluffier latke that is still crispy and flavorful. These latkes are perfect for a Hanukkah meal or any other festive occasion. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy latkes, give cottage cheese latkes a try!
