Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and place them in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

Step 2

Grate the potatoes using a box grater or a food processor with a grater attachment. Then, place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.

Step 3

Grate the onion using the same method and add it to the dried potatoes.

Step 4

In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the gluten-free flour, salt, black pepper, and baking powder until well combined.

Step 5

Add the potato and onion mixture to the egg mixture and combine thoroughly, ensuring that the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Step 7

Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening slightly with a spatula to form a patty. Fry latkes in batches to avoid overcrowding, allowing space between each latke.

Step 8

Cook each latke for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Transfer cooked latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve latkes hot with applesauce or sour cream, if desired.
