Directions
Potato Latkes (Jewish Potato Pancakes) – Gluten-Free,A delicious gluten-free adaptation of a traditional family Chanukah recipe. Serve with sour cream and applesauce. TO MAKE GLUTEN-FREE: The gluten-free rice flour mix use is 3 cups white rice flour, 3 cups brown rice flour, 2 cups potato starch (not flour), 1 cup tapioca starch – Use just one cup of this mixture. TO MAKE WITH REGULAR (WHEAT) FLOUR: Use only 1/2 cup of unbleached all-purpose white (wheat) flour.,Made this for Hanukkah and everyone loved it. Tastes like it was made by an old Jewish lady. Perfect.,I made these today. Didn’t weigh the potatoes, so it was a guestimate. used black pepper instead of white, used brown rice flour, added some flax meal, a pinch of cayenne, abt. 3T parsley flakes, onion powder, and grated carrots and grated zucchini. VERY YUMMY. While the pan was still hot, cut up fresh apple into the scant oil in the pan, added some pure maple syrup, a little water, and some cinnamon and had fried apples ( healthy style) with the latkes.

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, Gently Pressing Each Latke With the Back of the Spatula So That It Is No More Than 1/3" Thick. Do not Press Too Hard, as the Latkes Will Be More Crispy If the the Batter Is not Densely Packed and Each Latke Is Thin and Lacy (space in Between the Pieces of Potato). Fry Until Completely Golden-Brown on the Bottom and Crispy Around the Outside Corners. Flip and Brown on the Second Side. |
