Paleo Latkes

No matter what holidays you celebrate, latkes are a delicious, paleo-friendly treat that can be enjoyed by all! Top with applesauce, sour cream, cream cheese, or enjoy them plain!

Ingredients:

• 3-4 large russet potatoes, peeled and grated
• 1 yellow onion, peeled and grated
• 3 eggs
• 2 teaspoons salt
• ¾ cup potato starch
• 2 cups cooking oil of choice – we like avocado oil for its high smoke point 

Directions:

1. Peel & grate both the potatoes and onion.
2. Place both in a colander and allow to drain for 5-10 minutes.
3. After allowing to drain naturally, use a paper towel to squeeze out as much remaining liquid as possible.
4. In a separate bowl, combine salt, potato starch and eggs.
5. Heat up a large skillet and add the oil.
6. While the oil is heating, add grated potatoes and onions to the egg mixture and combine well with your hands.
7. The oil is hot enough when a tiny drop of liquid flicked into the pan sizzles right away.
8. Create latkes using just under a quarter cup of the mixture until about ½ inch thick.
9. Gently drop into the oil and cook about 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely browned.
10. Remove from pan and allow to cool on a paper towel lined plate.
11. Top with applesauce, sour cream, cream cheese or enjoy plain!
