California White Sturgeon Caviar
- • ½ cup sour cream
- • 1 cup Grillo’s Pickle de Gallo, divided
- • 5-6 medium Russet potatoes (about 2 pounds), scrubbed
- • ½ large onion (8 ounces), peeled and cut into quarters
- • 2 large eggs
- • ½ cup matzo meal
- • 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling
- • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- • Neutral oil, for frying
- • Fishwife caviar, for garnish
- • Fresh dill, for garnish
- Preheat oven to 200F.
- In a small bowl, mix sour cream, ¼ cup Grillo’s Pickle de gallo plus 1 tablespoon pickling liquid. Season with salt and pepper. Keep refrigerated until serving.
- Grate the potatoes and onion on the large holes of a box grater or with the shredding disc in the bowl of a food processor. Transfer the mixture to a clean dish towel and squeeze and wring out as much of the liquid as possible. Discard liquid.
- Transfer the potato mixture to a large bowl. Add the eggs, matzo meal, remaining ¾ cup Grillo’s pickle de gallo (draining any pickling liquid), salt, and pepper, and mix until the matzo meal is absorbed.
- In a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, pour in about ¼ inch of the oil. Once the oil is hot, drop about 2 tablespoons of batter into the hot pan, cooking in batches. Use a spatula to flatten and shape the drops into discs. When the edges of the latkes are brown and crispy, about 5 minutes, flip. Cook until the second side is deeply browned, about another 5 minutes. Transfer the latkes to a cooling rack set over a sheet pan to drain and sprinkle with salt while still warm. Keep warm in a preheated oven. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Top with Pickle de Gallo sour cream, caviar, and dill. Serve immediately.
