  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 1 platter latkes

Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes, rinsed and peeled
  • 4 large sweet potatoes, rinsed and peeled
  • 2 large sweet yellow onions, skin removed
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup gluten-free flour
  • 3/4 cup gluten-free matzo meal
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • canola oil, for frying
  • applesauce, for serving
  • sour cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Line two baking sheets with paper towels. Set aside.
  2. Using the shredder attachment of a food processor, shred the russet potatoes, sweet potatoes, and onions. Place shreds in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Using a cheese cloth or paper towels, wring out the excess liquid that accumulates from the potatoes and onion.
  4. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs. Pour the egg mixture over the potato and onion shreds and mix well.
  5. Pour the gluten-free flour, gluten-free matzo meal, salt, and garlic powder over the shreds and mix until well combined.
  6. Heat approximately ½-inch of canola oil in a skillet set over medium-high heat. Test that the oil is ready by placing one shred of potato into it. If it bubbles immediately, you’re ready to start frying.
  7. Form a small handful of the latke mix into a rounded disk and place into the oil. Fry until the edges turn golden. Flip over and cook until the other side is golden, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with all remaining latke mix.
  8. Remove cooked latkes from pan and drain on paper towel-lined baking sheets. Cover with foil to keep warm until all latkes are ready to eat.
  9. Serve with apple sauce and sour cream.
