Giant Skillet Latke (Vegan)

This reimagined Hanukkah recipe delivers a hearty and flavorful latke experience. Russet potatoes are shredded and combined with a blend of spices like Himalayan pink salt, black pepper, onion powder and garlic powder for classic potato-pancake flavor. A unique twist is the use of Bob’s Red Mill Egg Replacer, making this a vegan-friendly option. The latke is baked in a cast iron skillet, which ensures a crispy exterior while preserving a tender interior. The result is a golden-brown, deeply satisfying latke that can be enjoyed with classic accompaniments like apple sauce or sour cream. To ensure a crispy latke, squeeze out as much excess liquid as you can after grating the potatoes.
