Ingredients
- 4 cups Yams (peeled and grated)
- 0.5 cup Yellow onion (grated)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 optional Sour cream or applesauce (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and grate the yams using a food processor or box grater, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Grate the onion and add it to the bowl with the grated yams. Use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out excess moisture from the mixture. This step is crucial for getting crispy latkes.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs, then pour them into the yam mixture.
Step 4
Add the gluten-free flour, salt, black pepper, and optional cinnamon to the bowl. Stir everything together until evenly combined.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking—test it with a tiny drop of the mixture to see if it sizzles.
Step 6
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the yam mixture and flatten it into a round patty with your hands. Carefully place it into the skillet. Repeat, frying 3-4 latkes at a time, ensuring they don't overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining mixture.
Step 9
Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream or applesauce for dipping, if desired. Enjoy!
