👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Grate the potatoes and the onion on the coarse grater and squeeze out the liquid well through a clean kitchen towel.

    💡Squeezing is the secret to crispness: grated potato is full of water, and without squeezing the latke steams and comes out soft and greasy.
  2. 2
    Mix with the eggs, gluten-free flour blend, salt and black pepper into a smooth batter.
  3. 3
    Heat the oil' in a generous layer in a wide pan' over medium-high heat. Drop in tbsp of batter, flatten lightly and fry 3–4 minutes per side, until the latkes are golden. Transfer to paper towels.

    💡Don't add cold oil to the hot oil midway: take out the latkes, add oil, wait for it to heat up and carry on.
    💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
  4. 4
    Serve the latkes hot with the sour cream.
