Latkes & More!---need a recipe

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have a recipe for a BAKED latke that has no tofu in it?

 

We are soy allergic and can cross out many many recipes that come our

way due to the tofu........

Hi Sue -

 

Here are 2 that I found tweaked for vegan-gf.

 

Shari Lewis's No-Fry Latkes

 

2 C russet potatoes, peels and shredded (about 3 medium potatoes)

1 cup onion, finely chopped

1 cup toasted gluten-free bread crumbs

egg substitute equal to one egg (recipe calls for 2 egg whites)

4 to 6 turns of the pepper mill

1/2 tsp salt

Oil spray

 

Preheat oven to 425 deg F. IN a large bowl, thoroughly mix all

ingredients into a batter. Coat two baking sheets with oil spray.

Drop 1/4-cup cupfuls of batter onto the prepared sheets; press the

pancakes down with the bak of your dampened hand. Bake 15 minutes;

then turn and bake 10 minutes longer, or until latkes are browned

all over (but not blackened at edges). Serve with

applesauce. Makes approx 14 latkes.

 

 

LOW-FAT LATKES

* From " The (Almost) No-Fat Holiday Cookbook " by Bryan Clark Gorgon,

The Book Publishing Company, 1995.

 

9 medium russet potatoes -- peeled and grated

1 large onion -- peeled and grated

3/4 cup whole wheat flour (or gluten-free flour)

1/3 cup nutritional yeast

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon white pepper

 

Mix the onion and potato together well in a large bowl. Add the

other ingredients and mix well. Cook latkas on a large, heavy non-

stick or lightly oiled skillet or on a non-stick, electric pancake

griddle. Place 1/4 cup of the potato mixture for each latka onto the

preheated griddle or skillet.

 

Flatten into thin pancakes with a spatula. Cover them with lids or

foil (or an inverted cookie sheet over the griddle) and cook until

the bottoms are golden brown. Flip them over and cook, uncovered,

until the second side is golden brown.

 

Serve hot with applesauce and tofu sour cream.

Sue, I can help with the " no soy " part. . .not sure about the baking, but here's

a start. I made " potato pancakes " that are very similiar to latkes. I place

peeled potatoes in a blender with water (or a milk alternative of choice; rice,

almond, etc.). Add salt and a bean flour of your choice (live garbanzo bean

flour; if allergic to all beans, try an acceptable gluten-free flour). Blend on

high until liquified. Then add some oil (a tablespoon or two; I use extra

virgin olive oil). I use a ladle to spoon onto a hot griddle and fry up the

pancakes. I think it could be placed on a hot baking stone and baked instead if

you went " light " on the liquid. For any of the latke recipes that call for

tofu, substitute the gluten-free flour. The tofu is being used in these recipes

as a binder and the gluten-free flour option works well as a substitute.

Likewise, for any recipe calling for soy milk. . .substitute whatever acceptable

milk works for you. Tofu is usually made from soy (always commercially in the

USA), but it is actually possible to make your own tofu using any type of bean.

Tofu and soy don't have to go hand in hand.

 

Hope this helps,
