Veggie Latkelles (Waffled Latkes) with Lox

These waffled latkes combine shredded vegetables including carrot, zucchini, red bell pepper, onion, and potato into crispy waffle-shaped fritters. The addition of matzo meal or flour and baking powder helps them crisp and hold their shape. They are served with smoked salmon (lox), sour cream, dill, capers, and red onion, blending savory, tangy, and fresh flavors. The waffle iron cooking technique yields browned, crisp edges with a tender interior, offering a unique take on traditional latkes.
