Egg Yolk Stuffed Latkes Recipes

CLASSIC LATKES

Steps:

• Grate the potatoes and onion on the large holes of a box grater into a colander set over a bowl. Add 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, toss well and let stand 5 minutes. Squeeze handfuls of the mixture firmly with your hands to remove as much liquid as possible. Blot dry with paper towels, then transfer to a large bowl.
• Add the beaten egg and matzo meal or flour to the potato mixture and toss well to combine. Scoop 1/4 cupfuls of the mixture and tightly pack into thin 3- to 4-inch pancakes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
• Preheat the oven to 250˚. Heat 1/4 inch vegetable oil or chicken fat in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in three batches, fry the latkes until deep golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side, reducing the heat as needed if the latkes are browning too quickly. Remove to a rack set on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Keep warm in the oven while you make the remaining latkes. Serve with applesauce and/or sour cream.

OMELET WITH A RUNNY YOLK

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the ham and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the ham is slightly browned and the pepper is softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together 2 of the eggs and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in the Cheddar.
• Push the ham and peppers to the outside of the skillet, creating a ring. Pour the whisked egg mixture into the middle of the ring and let cook until mostly set, 1 to 2 minutes. Crack the third egg into the middle of the skillet on top of the omelet. Cover and cook until the egg around the edges is set but the yolk in the middle is still runny, about 4 minutes. Slide out of the skillet onto a plate and serve immediately, sprinkled with chives.
