Ingredients

For the Potato Latkes:

  • 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and grated
  • ½ small onion, grated
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Poached Eggs:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 4 cups water

For the Benedict Sauce (Hollandaise Sauce):

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)

Optional Toppings:

 

  • Sliced avocado
  • Smoked salmon
  • Fresh chives or parsley
  • Roasted cherry tomatoes

Instructions

  • Prepare the Potato Latkes:

    • Grate potatoes and onion, then squeeze out excess moisture using a kitchen towel.
    • Transfer to a bowl and mix with egg, flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
    • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry latkes for 3-4 minutes per side until crispy.
    • Drain on paper towels and keep warm.

  • Poach the Eggs:

    • Bring water and vinegar to a gentle simmer.
    • Crack each egg into a small bowl and slide it into the water.
    • Poach for 3 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon.

  • Make the Benedict Sauce:

    • Whisk egg yolks and lemon juice in a heatproof bowl over simmering water.
    • Slowly whisk in melted butter, stirring constantly, until thickened.
    • Stir in Dijon mustard, salt, and cayenne pepper.

 

  • Assemble the Latke Eggs Benedict:

    • Place two latkes on each plate.
    • Top each with a poached egg.
    • Drizzle warm Benedict sauce over the eggs.
    • Garnish with fresh chives, avocado slices, or smoked salmon.

Notes

  • Remove excess moisture from potatoes to get extra crispy latkes.
  • Use vinegar in the poaching water to keep the eggs intact.

 

  • For dairy-free sauce, substitute butter with dairy-free margarine.
