Were you surprised when I said you could get crispy latkes in an air fryer? I have to be honest, my family was skeptical.

Recipe Step By Step Directions:I decided to do a cook-off of sorts and created both air-fried latkes and oil-fried latkes! What better way to experiment and see what we like? Are you ready to make these yummy gluten free latkes from scratch? Step 1: The first thing you need to do is shred your potatoes and onions using one of the methods I mentioned above. Shred the potatoes into a large mixing bowl. HINT: After you shred your potatoes, take a clean dish towel or paper towels and squeeze out some of the moisture from the potatoes. If you don't do this, your latke mixture will be very wet and it won't bind as well when cooking. Trust me, soggy latkes are the worst so dry your shredded potatoes first! Step 2: Add the potato latke ingredients including the beaten eggs to a bowl. Add the Litehouse parsley and garlic, an egg, gluten free flour blend, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Air Fryer Instructions:Step 3: I use a brush and brush oil on the bottom of the air fryer. You do not have to do this, but trust me when I say you need a little oil to improve the flavor of these latkes when cooked in an air fryer. Step 4: Add the potato mixture in a round shape to the air fryer. You want air to circulate around each latke so don't crowd them! Use the oil brush or spray oil and lightly coat the tops of the latkes with oil. (Don't use an oil like PAM...you want just oil without the additives.) Cook at 400º F for 6 minutes per side. Open the air fryer and use a spatula to flip the latkes over so the other side cooks at the 6-minute mark. Your gluten free latkes will get all crispy! Remove from the air fryer and repeat the process until they are all cooked. Stovetop Directions:

Expert Tips and Recipe FAQ:How hot should the oil be for frying latkes? You will want your oil to heat to 375º F to fry your latkes stovetop. What oils are best for frying latkes? It is very important to use oils that are good in high heat cooking. (Note, olive oil is not a good oil at high temperatures!) My favorite high heat oils are avocado oil, canola, and coconut oil. Can you use other vegetables in your latkes? You can use any root vegetables you like in your potato latkes. How long will the latkes keep? These latkes will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer. To thaw, place in the oven and bake at 325º F for about 10-15 minutes until they feel crisp. You can reheat them in a microwave oven, but they will be soggier.
