Bubbe & Zayde’S Not Quite Kosher Latke Burger

Ingredients

• 1/4 Cup prepared horseradish
• 1/4 Cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 large red onion, grated
• 4 Teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
• 1 Cup matzo meal
• 2 Pounds russet potatoes, peeled & shredded
• 1/4 Cup canola oil
• 2 Pounds ground beef brisket
• 1 Cup sharp white cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 Cup prepared apple sauce (your favorite brand)

Instructions

• Heat grill to high heat (450 degrees).
• Combine horseradish, sour cream, mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl and set aside.
• Beat eggs, then mix in grated onion, 2 Teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and matzo meal. Fold in
• shredded potatoes until everything is well combined.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet set over medium heat. (Test oil by dropping a tiny amount of latke
• mix in the skillet. If it immediately starts to sizzle, the oil is ready).
• Working in batches, drop heaping tablespoons of latke mixture into the oil and spread to about the size
• of a standard hamburger bun. Cook 2-3 minutes, or until golden, then flip and cook 2-3 minutes longer.
• Repeat until you have 12 latkes, adding more oil as necessary.
• Divide ground brisket into 6 equal portions and form into hamburger patties. Season with remaining
• salt and pepper.
• Place burgers on the gill and grill 5 minutes per side, until a nice crust has formed and the burgers
• have reached 150 degrees on a meat thermometer. Evenly sprinkle cheese over the burgers and close
• the grill lid for 1-2 minutes, until cheese is melted.
• To assemble, place 6 latkes on a platter and spread 1 tablespoon horseradish sauce on each. Top with 1
• burger patty, 2 tablespoons applesauce and the remaining latke.
• Enjoy!
