Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Arrowroot powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and onion.
Grate the potatoes and onion using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding disc.
Place the grated potatoes and onion in a clean dish towel or cheesecloth. Gather the ends of the towel and twist to squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Transfer the drained potato and onion mixture to a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, beat the egg, then add it to the potato mixture.
Add the arrowroot powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the bowl. Mix all ingredients well until combined.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture for each latke and carefully add it to the skillet. Flatten each scoop slightly with a spatula to form a patty.
Cook the latkes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Once cooked, transfer the latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the latkes warm and enjoy immediately.
