Gluten Free

This is a traditional dish served at Hanukkah, but let’s be honest, fried potatoes are good any time of the year. 

Serve them with dairy free sour cream or applesauce for extra yumminess. 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled
  • 2 white onions
  • ½ cup gluten free flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Cooking oil such as canola or vegetable

Instructions

  1. On a box grater or the shredding blade on a food processor, shred the potatoes and onions (separately).  Wrap all the shredded potatoes in a kitchen towel and wring out as much water as possible.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, add the potatoes, onions, flour and baking powder and mix thoroughly.
  3. Heat ½ cup of cooking oil over high heat in a large skillet or dutch oven.  You want the oil nice and hot for frying.  (I like to test with one small piece of potato or onion to see if the oil is hot enough)
  4. When oil is ready, working in batches, take about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture a fry in the oil, making sure you flatten it with the back of a spatula. You want the pancakes to be thin enough so that the middle cooks and the outside doesn’t burn.  Fry about 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Remove from the heat and place on a towel lined baking sheet, sprinkle with salt, and keep warm.
  6. Repeat for the remaining batter. Add more oil as necessary.
  7. Serve with applesauce and sour cream.
