The Best gluten free potato pancake recipe

The combination of crispy, golden-brown potato pancakes and a side of tangy applesauce is absolute perfection. I’ve been making these pancakes for years, and they’re always a hit at family gatherings and holiday meals.

But what really sets this recipe apart is its simplicity – it’s quick, easy, and requires minimal ingredients. And the best part?

🥘Ingredients

For the Pancakes

4 medium russet potatoes, peeled
1 small onion, grated
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons gluten free all-purpose flour blend
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Vegetable oil for frying

👨‍🍳Directions

1Shred the peeled potatoes and grated onion using a box grater or food processor.
2Place the shredded mixture in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly over the sink to remove as much liquid as possible, this step is crucial for crispy pancakes.
3Transfer the squeezed potato and onion mixture to a large bowl.
4Add the beaten eggs, gluten free flour blend, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then stir until everything is evenly combined.
5Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan, about 2 tablespoons.
6Once the oil shimmers, drop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture per pancake into the skillet and flatten gently with a spatula to form a 3-inch round.
7Cook the pancakes for 4 to 5 minutes per side until the edges are golden brown and the center is cooked through, adjusting the heat to medium if they brown too quickly.
8Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil, then repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.

For extra crispy pancakes, ensure the potato mixture is very dry before mixing. Serve immediately with sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite dipping sauce. Leftovers can be reheated in a skillet or oven to restore crispiness.
