Hey Everyone,
Here are 2 versions of potato latkes, one with white potatoes and one with sweet potatoes. They are both delicious but you can decide which one to make. The sweet potato latkes have no eggs in them so they are vegan, but the white potato latkes are not. So whatever you are craving you can try one or the other, or both! Enjoy.
- ½ cup Besan (chick pea flour) or other gluten free flour
- ¼ t. baking soda
- 5 Tbs cold water
- 1 small onion, cut into slivers
- 1 potato, grated and water squeezed out
- 1 sweet potato, grated
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 t. salt
- 1 t. chopped parsley (optional)
- Oil for frying
- In large bowl, make a batter with the chick pea flour, baking soda and water. Then add the rest of the ingredients. Drop by spoonfuls into deep fryer or skillet with hot oil. When brown, remove and drain. (I usually try one first, to adjust salt to taste.)
- This recipe also does well with baking.
- To Bake:
- Preheat oven to 450*
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray with oil. Drop spoonfuls of potato mixture onto baking sheet, 2” inches apart. Bake at 450° for 10 minutes. Turn over and bake for 5 more minutes or until golden brown.
Potato Latkes
1 cup unbleached white flour
4 organic onions, cut into slivers
12 organic potatoes, grated and water squeezed out
4 organic eggs
1 Tbs. salt
Oil for frying
In large bowl, make a batter with the eggs, flour and salt. Then add the onions and potatoes. Mix thoroughly. Drop by spoonfuls into deep fryer or skillet with hot oil. Do not form into patties. Let them be free formed, with slivers of potatoes and onions sticking out. When brown and crisp, remove from oil and drain on paper towel. Serve with apple sauce or organic sour cream.
*I usually make one first, and taste it, to decide if it needs more salt.
Apple Sauce
6 apples
cinnamon
¼ cup water or apple juice
Maple syrup or honey (optional)
Peel, core and slice apples. Use either a rice cooker or sauce pan. Add the apples, the apple juice or water, a little cinnamon and maple syrup or honey, if desired. Bring to boil, and lower heat to simmer. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, making sure the bottom is not burning.
