Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water

Gluten-Free Latkes with Cranberry-Applesauce

My son asked for latkes for dinner tonight and here they are! Delicious!

Latke Ingredients
2 cups potatoes, peeled and grated
1 green onion, chopped
1 1/2 t salt
2 T brown rice flour
3 T grapeseed oil for cooking

Directions
Peel and grate two cups of potatoes. Squeeze out excess moisture. (I use my hands.)

In a medium bowl, stir together potatoes, onion, salt, and flour.

Heat grapeseed oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Place about 1/8 cup of potato mixture in heated skillet. Press down with back of spoon to form 1/4 inch-thick pancake. Cook until golden brown on each side. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

Applesauce Ingredients
1 apple, chopped
1 cup cranberries, fresh
1/3 cup maple syrup


Cook all in medium saucepan on high heat until cranberries pop. Reduce heat and simmer until fruit is soft. Puree using a hand-held blender or transfer to blender and puree. Serve warm alongside latkes.
