Latkes with poached eggs, beetroot & creamy horseradish
Crispy potato latkes topped with soft poached eggs, sweet-pickled cooked beetroot, salty capers and a punchy horseradish dressing.

Ingredients
2 medium baking potatoes (about 300g), peeled
1 medium onion, peeled
25g Essential Plain Flour
3 eggs, 1 lightly beaten
1 caraway seeds, crushed in a pestle and mortar
3 soft cheese
6.6g ⅓ x 20g pack dill, fnely chopped, plus extra fronds to serve
Coarsely grate the potatoes and onion. Tip into a clean tea towel, wrap up and hold over the sink to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Tip into a large bowl and mix in the four, beaten egg and caraway; season and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the soft cheese, fnely chopped dill, horseradish, capers and lemon zest with 1 tbsp water; season with black pepper and set aside. Preheat the oven to 110ºC, gas mark ¼. Line a large baking tray with baking parchment. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Working in batches, dollop heaped tablespoons of latke mixture into the pan (you want to make 6 in total); press down with a spatula so they are quite fat. Fry for 3-4 minutes each side, until golden and crisp and cooked through. Transfer to the parchment-lined tray and put in the oven to keep warm while cooking the remaining latkes.
Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water to the boil and poach the eggs (see left). To serve, divide the latkes between 2 plates; top with the soft cheese mixture and beetroot. Finish with the poached eggs, scattering over a few dill fronds and a grinding of black pepper. Serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over.
