1. In a large bowl fold together (using a spoon or your hands) cooked rice, egg, onion, saffron, flour, cheese and salt until combined.  
2. Heat 3/4 cups of oil in a large skillet over medium-medium high heat. Form rice mixture into even patties and fry for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until golden brown. Let drain on a wire rack or paper towels. Repeat this step until all of the rice mixture is gone. 
3. Top with chopped chives and serve with sour cream or any of your favorite latke condiments.
