Directions
Celery Root and Potato Pancakes / Latkes – Gluten-Free,This recipe combines the distinctive taste and wonderful crunch of celery root with the usual starchy Russet potatoes. I loved the flavor and the texture, they taste wonderful when topped with applesauce. This recipe is gluten-free if you use a gluten-free flour mix instead of matzo meal. These freeze well, so make extra!,Delicious! I had a celery root and didn’t know what to do with it and found this recipe and am so glad i tried it! These are so wonderful, thanks for posting :),These were harder and more time-consuming to make than we’d anticipated (we don’t have a food processor), but, man, are they delicious. We used Pamela’s Gluten-Free Baking & Pancake Mix for the flour and 1 teaspoon black pepper rather than the 1 tablespoon called for because using a full tablespoon made us nervous. We expected the pancakes to be blander and sweeter because of their “pancake” name, but they’re much more savory than that and absolutely heavenly.

Grate Potatoes. Quickly Squeeze a Handful of Grated Potatoes at a Time Over a Second Bowl (or the Kitchen Sink) to Remove All Liquid. Add the Dry Potatoes to the Onions and Celery Root, Mixing as You Go. This Step Should Be Done as Quickly as Possible to Prevent Oxidation of the Potatoes. |

Add Remaining Ingredients to the Batter, and Stir Until Fully Combined. Place a Small Handful of Batter (approximately 1/4 Cup) in the Hot Oil at a Time. Pat Each Handful Into a 1/2" Thick Pancake Shape Before Placing in Oil - This Will Help Each Latke Stay Together.
