Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Latkes with Scallions and Kimchi
These gluten-free sweet potato latkes are made with white rice flour and packed with healthy spices and scallions.
Servings 2 dozen latkes
Ingredients
- 4 scallions thinly sliced on the bias
- 1 pound sweet potatoes peeled and coarsely grated
- 1/2 cup finely chopped kimchi optional
- 4 large eggs beaten
- 1/2 cup white rice flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Greek yogurt or sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Combine the scallion, sweet potato, kimchi (if using) egg, flour, salt, ground ginger, and cayenne in a large mixing bowl and stir until incorporated.
- Heat a thin layer of oil in a large non-stick skillet (preferably cast iron). Add the latke mixture to the pan in batches, a heaping tablespoon per patty, and fry over high heat until dark brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. If your stove is uneven, tilt the pan to redistrubte the oil every once in a while. Remove the latkes to a paper-towel lined plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as necessary (about 4 batches total, depending on the size of your pan).
- Serve immediately with Greek yogurt or sour cream.
Notes
To make the latkes in advance, simply reheat on a baking sheet in a 400 degree oven until sizzling, 10 minutes.
