Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and place them in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
Grate the potatoes using a box grater or a food processor with a grater attachment. Then, place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
Grate the onion using the same method and add it to the dried potatoes.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the gluten-free flour, salt, black pepper, and baking powder until well combined.
Add the potato and onion mixture to the egg mixture and combine thoroughly, ensuring that the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening slightly with a spatula to form a patty. Fry latkes in batches to avoid overcrowding, allowing space between each latke.
Cook each latke for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer cooked latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve latkes hot with applesauce or sour cream, if desired.
