• Prep Time:
  10 min
• Cook Time:
  15 min
• Ready Time:
  25 min

Ingredients

• One large sweet potato
• One small onion
• One egg
• Chopped chives
• Crème fresh
• Kosher Salt
• One beaten egg

Directions

I start by grating the sweet potato and the onion and mixing them. I then soak it cold water for at least 30 min then I squeeze all the water out until it is a very dry mixture.

I then add half a beaten egg and mix until there is a slight binding of the potato and can be formed in my hand.
Hot pan olive oil and I used a ring mold to shape it but not necessary I fried it on medium heat until the one side was golden brown and the potato could slid on its own in the pan. Turn it over and finish the other side about 2 min then take out season and keep warm in oven at 200 degrees.

In another pan fry one egg sunny side up season the egg as well. Now to plate add the egg to the top of the crispy potato latke, finish with chives and serve with some crème fresh on the side or sour cream.

Shalom!

Ingredients

• one package good quality puff pastry
• 2 cups of strawberrys frozen is fine
• 1/2 cup crushed walnuts
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• one egg beaten
• powdered sugar

Directions

Start by making the strawberry jam  (you can use store bought but why when this is so easy) put your strawberrys into a pot on medium heat, add a tablespoon or so of sugar depending on how sweet you like it and start cooking it down stirring often. Once they have broken down into jam like consistence  they are done set aside to cool .

Now roll out your puff pastry so its fairly thin and use a plate or large ring mold to cut out a large circle. Now cut the circle like you are cutting pizza wedges (see photo) take each slice and put a layer of the strawberry jam and some of the crushed walnuts. Now roll it up and put a little of the beaten egg wash on.

Once you have your little soldiers all ready into a 350 degree oven until the are bubbling and golden brown about 12 min or so. Take out, cool and finish with some powdered sugar.

It’s that easy now go make some!
