Waffle and vegetable latkes

What is served with latkes is entirely up to you, my favorite is with sour cream, salmon, capers and red onions or just with applesauce as a side dish.

Using a waffle iron to make latkes is a turning point. The edges will be crispy and since you won't be frying them all you need to do is sprinkle the waffle iron with oil. I have a simple Cuisinart round waffle iron (affiliate link) that I've used to make everything from waffle crab cakes, grilled cheese, and more! The funny thing is that I never bake waffles in it.

Tips for perfect latkes:

  • Chop the vegetables in a box grater and squeeze out the excess liquid with paper towels or a cheesecloth.
  • The potatoes turn brown quickly, this is the last vegetable I grate.
  • Once you've made the batter, it's best to work quickly as the vegetables will continue to give off liquid if left too long.
  • Set your waffle iron on medium-low, let it get hot, sprinkle generously with oil and add just under 2/3 cups of batter. Close tightly for about 5 minutes so that the middle boils.

Which potatoes are best for latkes?

I like to use Russet potatoes, but I also made them with Yukon Gold. You can also use sweet potatoes for a sweeter latkes. These can easily be made gluten-free with a universal gluten-free flour mix.
