Ingredients

For the Latkes

  • 2 large russet potatoes

    peeled and rinsed

  • 1 medium onion

  • 1 egg

  • ½ cup hazelnut flour

    (optional, I like the flavor and it adds a little body)

  • 1 tablespoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon black pepper

  • 1 cup oil

    for frying

For the burger

  • 4 ButcherBox Burger Patties

For the slaw

  • 1 Granny Smith apple

  • 1 Red Delicious apple

  • 2 scallions

  • 1 red onion

  • ½ cup sour cream

    Kosher substitute: 1/3 cup mayo and an extra squeeze of lemon juice

  • ½ lemon

    juiced

  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

For the Latkes

1
Grate the potatoes and onions in a food processor or with the medium-to-small grater on a box grater.
2
Place grated mixture into a colander and squeeze out some of the excess liquid.
3
Transfer grated mixture to a mixing bowl, and stir in the egg, hazelnut flour, salt, and pepper.
4
Preheat a pan with ¼ cup oil on medium-high heat, and spoon the mixture into the pan in burger-sized circles (an ice cream scoop works great here). Lower the temperature to medium, fry the latke on one side until golden brown, flip the latke, and repeat on the other side. 
5
Place finished latkes on a paper towel to rest. They can also be finished in a 350°F oven if you want to spend less time frying. Simply crisp up both sides in a pan and transfer the latkes to a baking sheet to finish. 

For the Burger

1
Keep it simple—grill, broil, or sear to your favorite temperature.

For the Slaw

1
Slice apples and onions as thinly as possible and mince scallions.
2
Transfer the apples, onions, and scallions to a mixing bowl and mix in sour cream, lemon, and salt until well combined.
