Best Latkes Ever

My Best Latkes Ever also happen to be gluten and dairy free.  They are crisp on the outside with soft potato on the inside.  I pack them with flavor from garlic, onions and Italian herbs.  We eat these tasty little potato pancakes with applesauce, sour cream or ketchup.  Yes.  I said ketchup.  I know that isn’t the least bit traditional, but I like ketchup with mine.  Think less of me if you must.

Just Mix & Bake (or Fry if you want)

I usually bake these latkes to simplify things.  It also helps when I am making them for a crowd.  That is how I made them in the photos you see in this post.  Nicely browned and crisp, just as they should be.  Of course, you can fry them if you prefer.  Entirely up to you!  As for the mixture, I use Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns in my recipe.  This makes these super quick to mix up too.  No washing, peeling, grating and squeezing liquid out of potatoes in this recipe.  Just throw all of the ingredients in a big bowl and mix it all up well.  Place spoonfuls onto a parchment lined baking sheet and shape into flat rounds.  Pop them into the oven to bake, flipping them once so that they brown well on both sides.
