Recipe: Gluten Free Potato Pancakes (latkes)

Recipe: Gluten Free Potato Pancakes (latkes)

Approx 3 pounds potatoes, peeled and grated

1/8 onion, grated

6 eggs

1/2 to 1 cup gluten free all purpose flour mix

Vegetable oil

Optional: sour cream, applesauce, or other desired toppings

Directions:

Peel and grate potatoes and onion into a large bowl. Add eggs, mix thoroughly. Add flour as needed, until mixture is relatively thick but still visibly "wet". Heat oil over medium high heat in a frying pan (enough to cover the bottom of the pan by approx 1/2"). Oil is ready when a drop of water sizzles. Use a spoon or ladle to draw off excess water as it forms in the mixture. Spoon mixture into pan, approximately 2 tablespoons at a time. Use a spatula to flatten mixture into a round "pancake" and cook for 2-3 minutes each side, until golden brown. Transfer to a plate covered in paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately. Leftovers are best frozen and reheated in the oven.
