Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Arrowroot flour
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the Russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor with the grating attachment. Transfer the grated potatoes to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step ensures the latkes will be crispy.
Step 2
Grate the yellow onion and squeeze out its excess moisture using a separate kitchen towel.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed potatoes, grated onion, eggs, arrowroot flour, coconut flour, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Step 4
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, approximately 350°F if using a thermometer.
Step 5
Scoop heaping tablespoons of the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening each one with a spatula to form 3-inch patties.
Step 6
Fry the latkes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet, for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Use a slotted spatula to transfer the cooked latkes onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Continue frying the remaining latkes, adding more coconut oil to the skillet if needed.
Step 9
Serve the Paleo Classic Potato Latkes hot, garnished with your choice of toppings such as unsweetened applesauce or Paleo-friendly sour cream.
