Instructions

COMBINE sour cream and caraway seeds in a small bowl. Squeeze out excess liquid from beets, carrot and onion using hands or kitchen towel (beets may stain towel). Stir vegetables with eggs, flour and salt in a large bowl. Season with fresh pepper.
POUR oil into a large non-stick frying pan until it reaches halfway up the side. Set over medium. Working in batches of 4 latkes, scoop 1/4 cup packed beet mixture per latke into pan. Flatten slightly with a spatula and cook until golden, about 3 min per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Serve with caraway sour cream and smoked salmon.
Kitchen Tip: To save time, use a food processor to grate vegetables.
