Saturday morning ritual

My roommate and I have a Saturday morning ritual- making latkes (potato pancakes). With two people, the huge task of peeling and grating moves quickly, and we take turns manning the frying pan. By simply substituting a gluten free flour mix (we use Bob's Red Mill All Purpose GF Baking Flour), we were able to adapt a normal recipe with outstanding results. The rewards are well worth it- delicious, golden, and crunchy on the edges. This is probably the most laborious recipe we make in a normal week- but there's no substitute for fresh potato pancakes. There's no evidence at all these are gluten-free. I'm very lucky to have a non-Celiac roommate who was willing to learn to cook (and eat) gluten free. We plan meals each week, which helps me resist temptation and helps us both properly control our grocery bill.
