Instructions
For the Latkes
Grate the potatoes and onions in a food processor or with the medium-to-small grater on a box grater.
Place grated mixture into a colander and squeeze out some of the excess liquid.
Transfer grated mixture to a mixing bowl, and stir in the egg, hazelnut flour, salt, and pepper.
Preheat a pan with ¼ cup oil on medium-high heat, and spoon the mixture into the pan in burger-sized circles (an ice cream scoop works great here). Lower the temperature to medium, fry the latke on one side until golden brown, flip the latke, and repeat on the other side.
Place finished latkes on a paper towel to rest. They can also be finished in a 350°F oven if you want to spend less time frying. Simply crisp up both sides in a pan and transfer the latkes to a baking sheet to finish.
For the Burger
Keep it simple—grill, broil, or sear to your favorite temperature.
For the Slaw
Slice apples and onions as thinly as possible and mince scallions.
Transfer the apples, onions, and scallions to a mixing bowl and mix in sour cream, lemon, and salt until well combined.
Notes
To maximize the flavor of the slaw in this burger, make it a few hours in advance. This allows the slaw to thoroughly soak up the juices from the fresh ingredients.
