Instructions

Step 1

Start by rinsing and peeling potatoes.

Step 2

Add a nut milk bag or cheesecloth to a large bowl and place a box grater inside it.

Step 3

Grate both potatoes into bag inside the bowl.

Step 4

Use your hands to squeeze out the liquid from the potatoes.

Step 5

The bowl will be left with the excess water, after it sits for a minute you’ll see there’s a white starch layer underneath. Remove the water on top but leave the potato starch layer in the bowl.

Step 6

Add in the grated potatoes, gluten free flour, sea salt, baking powder, arrowroot starch, water and grated yellow onion.

Step 7

Mix until well combined.

Step 8

Into a sauté pan heat a few tbsp of avocado oil on medium heat.

Step 9

Use an ice cream scooper or spoon to create 3 latkes in the oil. Use a spatula to gentle press down on each.

Step 10

Cook for 3-5 on each side or until desired crispiness. Repeat until you’ve made all the latkes. Place on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Step 11

Serve with applesauce or vegan sour cream and chives.
