Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is critical to ensure crispy latkes.
Step 2
Grate the onion and combine it with the grated potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then add them to the potato and onion mixture.
Step 4
Add the gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, and ground black pepper to the mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet by about 1/4 inch.
Step 6
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture into the hot oil for each latke. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon or spatula to form pancake shapes.
Step 7
Cook the latkes for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Step 8
Once cooked, transfer the latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the latkes warm with your choice of toppings, such as applesauce, sour cream, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
