Gluten Free Potato Latkes

Learn how to make delicious gluten free potato latkes. They’re the best!

Gluten Free Potato Latkes

When I was a little girl, my mother traditionally made potato latkes during Chanukah. Frying them in oil commemorated the oil God miraculously provided that burned for eight days when the Maccabees purified and rededicated the holy Temple in Jerusalem. Certainly, potato latkes are delicious any time of year.

Potato latkes are similar to potato fritters or potato pancakes.

I use russet potatoes because they are the most starchy and best type for frying. Indeed, this recipe for gluten free potato latkes is so good they’ll be devoured in minutes.

Ready to make potato pancakes? Let’s go.

Instructions

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post. 

First things first: peel and then grate the potatoes in your food processor. Transfer potatoes to a cheesecloth and twist cheesecloth into a pouch. Squeeze out the moisture.

Set in a large bowl to allow starch to sink to the bottom. After about 10 minutes, carefully pour liquid from the bowl, reserving milky residue.

Now, mix eggs, potato starch, salt and pepper into the milky residue. Add drained potatoes and onion and toss until evenly coated.

Then heat oil over medium high heat. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of potato mixture into the pan and flatten them with the back of a spoon.

Cook the latkes over moderately high heat until the edges are golden, about 2 minutes; carefully flip and cook about 2 more minutes. (Hint: use two spatulas or a spatula and a fork, to flip so that the oil doesn’t splatter).

Drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture. Keep latkes warm on a baking pan in the warm oven.

2 pans

I use two frying pans to save time!

Ingredients

  • 4 large Russet Potatoes about 2 pounds
  • 1/4 cup potato starch
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil for frying

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 250℉
  • Peel and then grate the potatoes in your food processor. Transfer potatoes to a cheesecloth and twist cheesecloth into a pouch. Squeeze out the moisture. Set in a large bowl to allow starch to sink to the bottom. After about 10 minutes, carefully pour liquid from the bowl, reserving milky residue.
  • Mix eggs, potato starch, salt, and pepper into the milky residue. Add drained potatoes and onion and toss until evenly coated.
  • Heat oil over medium-high heat.Be careful not to let the oil smoke.
    Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of potato mixture into the pan and flatten them with the back of a spoon.
    Cook the latkes over moderately high heat until the edges are golden, about 2 minutes; carefully flip and cook about 2 more minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture.
    You can keep your latkes warm on a baking pan in the warm oven until you're ready to serve.

Notes

Peel your potatoes before grating them. I always remove potato skins since reading that potentially toxic glycoalkaloids which repel pests are concentrated in the skin of the potato.
If you don't have a food processor, you can grate your potatoes by hand on the big round holes of your cheese grater (aka box grater).
No potato starch? You can substitute with gluten free flour.
Serve your latkes topped with velvety brown gravy, savory sour cream or sweet apple sauce.
