Ingredients
- 2 Yukon gold potatoes
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- ½ cup diced pastrami
- 2 scallions finely chopped
- 1 packet Lipton ranch dressing, divided
- 1 tablespoon flour of choice
- Canola oil, for frying
- ¼ cup non-dairy sour cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup pastrami, for garnish
- Chives, for garnish
Preparation
1. Peel and grate Yukon gold potatoes. Squeeze out any excess moisture with a clean kitchen towel or thick paper towels.
2. Combine the potatoes with egg, pastrami, 2 scallions, 1 tablespoon ranch mix, and flour.
3. Pour 1 inch of oil in a heavy-bottom frying pan and heat on medium-high heat, until oil is sizzling.
4. Dip a wooden skewer or edge of wooden spoon in oil; if oil starts to slowly sizzle and bubble it is ready for frying.
5. Once oil is hot enough, form tablespoon-size latkes from mix and fry until golden brown on both sides.
6. Drain on paper towels.
7. Combine the remaining ranch dressing, sour cream, and mayonnaise.
8. Once you finish frying latkes; fry up the pastrami for three minutes. Drain on paper towels, then use as garnish.
9. To serve: place latkes on platter and top each latke with a dollop of ranch crème, topped with more scallions or chives and crunchy pastrami, if desired.
