Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Peel and finely grate potatoes and onion into a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze hard to remove all liquid, then transfer to a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Toss potatoes with 1 egg, flour, salt, and pepper until combined. Heat a large skillet over medium-high with oil until shimmering.

  3. Step 3

    Divide mixture into 4 patties and press flat into skillet. Fry 4 minutes per side until dark golden and crispy at edges.

  4. Step 4

    Slide pancakes to a plate. Add a bit more oil to skillet, crack in remaining 2 eggs, and fry until whites set but yolks jiggle.

  5. Step 5

    Top each pancake with a fried egg and torn smoked salmon. Dress salad greens with lemon juice, salt, and pepper on the side.
