Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
To grate the potatoes and onion: Set up the small 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 small hole opening of a box grater.
To make the Gluten-Free, Oil-Free Vegan Baked Potato Latkes: 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.
Portion about 1/4 cup of the potato onion mixture for each latke, onto the pre-lined baking sheet. Flatten with your hands. This should make about 15-16 latkes.
Bake for 15 minutes (20 if using a Silpat). Then, flip the latkes over and bake another 10-15 minutes.
