Potato Pancakes (Latkes) [0001139]

Ingredients:

4 medium russet potatoes, peeled
1 small onion
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil, for frying
Sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite toppings (optional)

Instructions:

Grate the peeled potatoes and onion using a box grater or food processor. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes and onion, eggs, gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.

Scoop up about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and shape it into a flat pancake. Carefully place it in the hot oil.

Flatten the pancake with a spatula to ensure even cooking. Repeat the process, cooking a few pancakes at a time, but avoid overcrowding the pan.

Fry the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to adjust the cooking time based on your stove's heat.

Remove the cooked gluten-free potato pancakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Serve the potato pancakes warm with sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite toppings, if desired.

These gluten-free potato pancakes (Latkes) are a delightful treat, especially during Hanukkah, and make a great side dish or snack.

Always double-check the labels of your ingredients to ensure they are truly gluten-free if you have gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. Enjoy your potato pancakes!
