Gluten Free Recipe: Gluten Free Potato Latkes

Happy Hanukkah!  Here is a gluten free recipe for a Hanukkah favorite!  We enjoy this simple recipe year round!

4 to 5 pounds white potatoes
2 medium onions
1 cup rice flour

1 ½ tsp. salt
2 tsp. pepper
3 large eggs, beaten
Oil

Peel potatoes and place in bowl filled with cold water.  Make sure potatoes are completely submerged to keep for oxidizing. 

In a large bowl, grate the onion.  I used the small grate size for the onions.  Separately, grate the potatoes using the largest grate size.  After you grate each potato, squeeze the excess liquid from the potatoes.  Add the grated potatoes to the large bowl with the onions.  Stir the potatoes and onions thoroughly.  Move quickly when grating potatoes to avoid oxidation. 

In a separate small bowl, combine rice flour, salt and pepper.  Slowly add flour mixture and beaten eggs to the potato and onion mix, stirring as you add the ingredients.  

In a large frying pan, heat oil over high heat.  Drop a small handful of latke mixture into the fully heated frying pan.  Flatten out lightly.  Cook latkes until golden brown on bottom and at the edges.  Flip the latke over and cook until other side is golden brown.  

When latkes are thoroughly golden, transfer latkes to a paper towel lined plate or cookie tray.  

Makes 8-10 servings.
