• 3 cups coarsely shredded peeled russet or Yukon Gold potato
• 1 cup grated white onion
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 large egg
• About 1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying
• 1/2 green apple, cored and thinly sliced, then slices cut in half
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
• 1 firm-ripe avocado
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 filets (1/2 lb.) smoked trout, skin removed, broken into 20 roughly equal chunks
• 20 cilantro leaves
• 3 1/2 tablespoons sour cream
• 3 1/2 tablespoons salmon roe
• 20 small dill sprigs

1. Make latkes: Put potato and onion in a colander and set in the sink. Let drain, pressing with the back of a spoon occasionally, until no more liquid comes out, at least 30 minutes. Turn potato and onion into a medium bowl and stir in salt, pepper, flour, and egg. Mix well.
2. Preheat oven to 300u0b0. In a large nonstick frying pan, heat 2 tbsp. oil over medium heat until shimmering. Shape 2 tbsp. potato mixture into a ball and add to pan, flattening slightly with back of a spoon. Shape and flatten 5 more balls the same way and fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and put in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to pan as needed.
3. For gingered yogurt and green apple topping: To same pan used for latkes, add apple, drizzle with vinegar, and toss to coat. Cook until slightly softened, 1 minute. In a serving bowl, mix yogurt with ginger. Spread ginger yogurt on latkes, then top each with a half-slice of apple.
4. For avocado cream topping: In a food processor, puree avocado, sour cream, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Dollop avocado cream onto latkes, then top with smoked trout and cilantro leaves.
5. For salmon roe topping: Spoon sour cream onto latkes, then top with salmon roe and dill sprigs.
6. Make ahead Latkes, through Step 2, up to 1 day, chilled; reheat in a 350u0b0 oven until crisp, about 10 minutes.
