I love everything bagel seasoning and regularly use it to sprinkle on my challah and now in my new latke recipe. I have also created my own topping called ‘Everything Crunch’ to top the latke!
 

Method

  • Make the ‘Everything Bagel Crunch’ topping by combining all the ingredients and set aside.
  • Grate the potatoes using the large holes of a box grater or food processor. Place in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. The drier the mixture, the crispier the latkes!
  • In a large bowl, combine the grated potato with the garlic, spring onions, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and 2 tsp of everything bagel seasoning. Stir until evenly mixed.
  • Pour oil into a large frying pan to a depth of about 5 mm and heat over medium-high until shimmering.
  • Drop heaped tablespoons of the mixture into the pan, flattening each slightly with a spatula. Fry for about 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp. Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning.
  • Transfer cooked latkes to a rack. Immediately sprinkle with a pinch of the “Everything Bagel Crunch” while still hot so it sticks.
  • Serve the latkes warm with a dollop of sour cream, sprigs of fresh dill and smoked salmon if desired.
