Sorghum Latkes with Sorghum Apple Sauce recipe

Sorghum Form

Latkes are a classic crispy fried dish of shredded onions and potatoes served with sour cream and apple sauce. These are the perfect gluten free based latkes that taste just as good as the original while still being crispy, golden, brown and bursting with flavor.

Ingredients

Sorghum Latkes Ingredients:

  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled
  • 1 small yellow onion, external paper removed
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup whole grain sorghum flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • neutral oil, for frying
  • sour cream, to serve
  • chives, garnish

Sorghum Apple Sauce Ingredients:

  • 4 large apples, peeled, cored and chopped
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons sorghum syrup, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

Sorghum Latkes Instructions:

  1. Using a box grater, grate the potatoes and onion together.
  2. Put the grated mixture onto a piece of cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel, and squeeze as much of the liquid out of it as possible.
  3. Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Mix in the sorghum flour, salt, pepper and baking powder.
  4. Add the drained potato and onion mixture and stir to fully combine.
  5. Heat about ¼ inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
  6. Drop 1 tablespoon of mix at a time into the pan, flattening each slightly with the back
    of a spoon.
  7. Fry for roughly 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Drain on paper towels or a wire rack.

Sorghum Apple Sauce Instructions:

  1. Combine apples, water, sorghum syrup, cinnamon and a pinch of salt in a medium pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then cover. Cook until the apples are soft and falling apart, about 15–20 minutes, making sure to stir occasionally.
  2. Blend with an immersion blender or transfer to a blender and blend until smooth.
  3. Taste and add more sorghum syrup if needed.
  4. Serve the latkes warm alongside the sorghum apple sauce, sour cream and topped with fresh chives.
