Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the flax meal and water. Mix well and set aside for 5 minutes.
- Put the potatoes and onions in a cheesecloth, nut milk bag, or a thin dish towel, and squeeze out the liquid until no more liquid comes out when squeezing.
- In a large bowl, add “dry” potato onion mixture, flax mixture, potato starch, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, when hot, add about 2 tablespoons of oil.
- To form the latkes, use a ¼ measuring cup to scoop the batter into your hand. Press the batter to make a flat patty (make sure it’s flat so it’s not dense). Carefully place the latkes into the pan. To not overcrowd the pan, work in batches to make it easier to flip the latkes.
- Cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes until they are lightly browning. (Reduce the heat if they are burning under 3 minutes).
- Transfer the latkes to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil and cover to keep warm if working in batches.
- When ready, serve immediately. (If they get cold, reheat them in the oven.)

Notes

- To save time: Use a food processor to shred the potatoes and onions in SECONDS.
- To adjust the texture: We love using medium-sized shreds, but finely grate the potato/onion instead, for a smoother, slightly denser texture.
- Squeeze out ALL the liquid: If the potato onion mixture contains excess liquid, it won’t crisp up or brown properly.
- Make even-sized latkes: By ensuring the size and thickness are the same, the latkes will cook evenly. Make them smaller or larger, based on whether you’re serving them as an appetizer, side, or main.
