Tradition With a Twist

"F

amily tradition evolves, and your menus can too," says David Poran, culinary director of Balducci's Food Lover's Market in Washington, D.C. "Latkes made into bite-size appetizers are a nice change of pace from the side-dish version. Top with Salmon-Olive Relish, and you've updated a classic dish." David pulls from his Eastern European Jewish heritage, French culinary training, and an understanding of doable recipes to come up with these gems. He and his wife, Leslie, truly gave their friends a treat with this meal.

Mini Latkes With Salmon-Olive Relish

Recipe: Mini Latkes With Salmon-Olive Relish

These mini latkes make a delicious bite-size appetizer. The key to the best latkes is patting the potato-and-onion mixture very dry on paper towels before adding eggs and matzo meal. Get everything ready, including the salt for sprinkling on the cooked latkes, before you grate the potatoes and onion.
