Latkes Recipe and Baked Latkes

A latkes recipe is traditionally made with matzah meal. Learning how to make potato pancakes is quick and easy.

Bakes latkes may be a healthier version of this potato pancake, but they are a little harder to make crispy.

Matzah meal is made from an unleavened bread or cracker. Matzah is the official food of Passover - which is a very important Jewish Religious Celebration.

Once you learn how to make potato pancakes, you can add your own variations to spice it up or even make it a gluten free pancake.

How to Make Potato Pancakes

Baked Latkes

And latkes are one of the two most popular foods served during this Jewish holiday.

However, if you prefer to baking over frying - you should be able to create great tasting latkes.

Just keep a few things in mind:

• Bake latkes at approx. 400 degrees F
• Keep a 1/3 to 1/4 inch thickness
• Oil your cookie sheet with a healthy fat to help make crispy latkes
• Bake for approx. 20 minutes on one side - flip latkes - and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes (or until golden brown)

Matzah Meal

Matzah resembles a cracker more than bread and is made from white flour and water.

You can find matzah bread or crackers at a Jewish Market or in the Kosher section of your grocery stores.

Just put a few pieces into a blender or food processor and grind until the desired texture is reached. Viola, you will then have matzah meal.

Fried foods make me nervous and the only way I would feel somewhat okay eating a fried food is having it fried in a saturated fat such as coconut oil.

Frying with vegetables oils is like consuming plastic - yikes! Yes, plastic is made from vegetable oils.
