Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Celery root (peeled and grated)
- 2 medium Russet potatoes (peeled and grated)
- 1 medium Yellow onion (grated)
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Olive oil or avocado oil (for frying)
Instructions
Peel and grate the celery root, potatoes, and onion using the large holes of a box grater or the grating attachment on a food processor.
Place the grated celery root, potatoes, and onion into a cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible and discard the excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated and squeezed vegetables with eggs, gluten-free flour, salt, pepper, and baking powder. Mix well until evenly incorporated.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough olive oil or avocado oil to form a thin layer on the bottom of the pan.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the latke mixture and flatten it into a small pancake shape. Carefully place it in the hot oil. Repeat until the pan is full but not overcrowded.
Cook the latkes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Use a slotted spatula to transfer the cooked latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off excess oil.
Continue frying the remaining latkes in batches, adding more oil to the pan as needed and maintaining the proper temperature.
Serve the latkes warm with your choice of toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, or fresh herbs.
