Ingredients

2 Russet potatoes peeled and quartered
1 medium onion peeled and quartered
1/4 cup chickpea flour (25g)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 Line a baking sheet with a non-stick Silpat mat or a piece of parchment paper.
To make the Baked Oil-Free Potato Latkes with Easy Applesauce: Set up the large hole opening on a food processor slicing blade. Feed the onions and potatoes through the food processor. If you don’t have a food processor, you can also use the large holes on a box grater.
Transfer the shredded onion and potato to a clean kitchen towel, set up over a colander. Squeeze the onion potato mixture to get out as much of the moisture as you can. Discard these juices.
Transfer the squeezed onion potato mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the chickpea flour, garlic powder, baking powder, and salt. Use your hands to mix well.
Portion about 1/4 cup of the potato onion mixture for each latke. Flatten with your hands. This should make about 16 latkes.
Bake the oil-free Potato Latkes at 425F for 30 minutes. Flip after the first 20 minutes.
While the latkes bake, you can make a quick homemade applesauce. Or, just warm-up a good quality store-bought sauce.
When the latkes are done, remove from the oven. Serve immediately with applesauce.

Chef Katie’s Tips:

Wanting Oil? If you’re craving a more traditional version, using oil, don’t use the parchment paper or Silpat. Rather, spray the baking sheet with oil (canola is best). Reduce the baking time by 5 minutes.

Make Ahead and Freezer-Friendly: Make a double-batch of these. After baking them in the oven, store extra in an air-tight container (

Chickpea Flour, Basan, Garbanzo Bean Flour: Chickpea flour is sometimes also called Garbanzo bean flour. In Indian markets, it’s called Besan. For a gluten-free, Celiac-safe frittata, double-check to make sure your flour is certified gluten-free.
