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.

    These were SO easy & fast (used food processor) to put together, and delicious! I was worried they would stick to parchment, as most oil free latkes does, these didn’t! At 20 minutes, I flipped, and baked 10 more- PERFECT RESULTS! Only thing I changed, we don’t use salt, so I added a little onion powder as well as more garlic powder, fresh ground pepper, and a pinch of turmeric.
    THANK YOU for this recipe!!

  • OMG! I had to write this comment right now! My kids are quiet as can be as they devour these. They are super picky and also require a low salicylate diet. I made my own gluten-free, corn-free baking powder to add and used leeks instead of onion. Baked in air fryer on the bake setting at 400F for 12-13 min. This was perfect! I made a cashew butter sauce (raw cashew butter, pure vanilla extract, water) to serve with it. Delicious. Thank you!

    My latkes looked nothing like your photo and tasted like potato cardboard! I don’t know what went wrong but they were a huge fail.
