Baked Potato Latkes
Are you craving Baked Potato Latkes? With Chef, Mark Reinfeld’s permission I am sharing this recipe with you! I learned so much from him when I took an intensive 10 day course from him. I just found out and wanted to share with my everyone that Mark’s newly released cookbook, “The 30 Minute Vegan’s Taste of Europe”, has been named one of the top 5 Cookbooks by Vegetarian Times for 2012! Congrats to you Mark Reinfeld.
Baked Potato Latkes
Ingredients
- 1 large russet potato peeled and grated (2 cups)
- 1/4 teaspoon minced yellow onion
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon white spelt flour
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds mixed with 3 tablespoons water
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
- A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes optional
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika optional, try smoked
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. You can speed this process up by using the grater attachment on a food processor for the potatoes.
- Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of the mixture for each latke on to a very well-oiled baking sheet. Flatten to approximately 1/4-inch thick. Bake for 8 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and bake, until golden brown, approximately 8 minutes before serving.
- Serve with Vegan Sour Cream or Apple Sauce

Variations
Make smaller latkes by using 2 tablespoons, instead of 1/4 cup of the batter in each pancake.
Replace 1 cup grated potato with grated sweet potato or yam.
Add 1 tablespoon of minced fresh dill, parsley, or basil.
Add 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion.
Add 1 clove pressed or minced garlic and 1/2 teaspoon seeded and diced chile pepper.
1/2 cup peeled and grated parsnip or carrot.
Create Italian latkes by adding 1 tablespoon Italian Spice Mix
Go Mexican by adding 1 tablespoon minced cilantro and 1 teaspoon each of chile powder and cumin.
Add 1/2 cup grated vegan cheese for an over the top latke experience.
For a gluten-free version replace the spelt flour with brown rice flour.
Vegan Sour Cream
3/4 cup vegan mayonnaise (Vegenaise or home made)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon minced fresh dill or a pinch of dried dill, optional
Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
I love these. I just knew you would have a much better recipe than I had –thanks so much -I appreciate it
These look really tasty! Thank you for sharing!
Sounds really good. I’ve never made it before. It kind of sounds like hash browns.
Thanks for the wonderful recipe. I am always looking for ways to eat healthier
I’ve never had latkes, but I’m sure I would love these. I’ve been enjoying potatoes lately.
I’m not G-free but I love the recipe. I also never thought about baking them. Thanks for the recipe share. I’m going to try this.

I love cooking and this recipe sounds great. I really love how you bake the latkes because I have been doing the baking instead of the frying. I think people sometimes don’t realize that you can get great flavors from baking!
These look wonderful, I especially like the addition of the pepper flakes and smoked paprika. I’ve never thought of adding different seasonings, I’m the type of person who seems to always make things the same way. Thanks for the recipe and the great ideas!
Thanks these look so good I’m making them for dinner tonight…
Looks Great I think I will try this soon. Thank you. Jerri Davis

I like these Vegan Baked Potato latkes. I have made latkes in the past, and I think that this is a flavorful and tasty latkes recipe. I would love to make this!
I’m not g-free but this is a great sounding version of latkes. I don’t eat them much for trying to avoid the frying. Never thought to bake them. Thank you.
