Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • colander
  • large pot
  • baking pan

Ingredients

  • For the latkes
  • cooking spray
  • 3 large russet potatoes peeled and grated
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • For the cranberry chutney sauce
  • 1 15 oz. can whole cranberries or 12 oz. of fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 cup golden raisins
  • 1 apple peeled, cored, and finely diced. I like using Honeycrisp or Fuji apples.
  • ½ cup onion diced
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger dried spice
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup pure honey
  • 1 orange juiced and 1 tbsp zested
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • ¼ tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • For the latkes:
    Step 1 - Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel and grate your potatoes and place them in a colander.
  • Step 2 - Chop your onion and add it to the colander. Mix well pressing down to try and get as much moisture out as you possibly can.
  • Step 3 - In a small mixing bowl, add egg, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Step 4 - Add potato and onion mixture to a large bowl and pour in the egg mixture. Mix well
  • Step 5 - Add in the flour and mix to combine.
  • Step 6 - Drop spoonfuls of the potato mix onto the prepared baking pan and press down to form a pancake. Spray each latke with cooking spray and bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
  • For the cranberry chutney sauce:
    Step 1 - Add all ingredients to a large pot and mix well.
  • Step 2 - Bring to a boil then simmer for 45 minutes with the lid on. Remove the lid and simmer for a remaining 15 minutes. Let cool completely!

Notes

What if my chutney sauce is too watery?
If you feel like your chutney sauce came out too watery you can add in a thickening agent like gelatin or cornstarch to thicken it up. I would add 1 tbsp. at at time and stir until you find your desired consistency.
How to store this dish.
Store your latkes and chutney sauce separately. Store the latkes in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Also, store your chutney sauce in an ait-tight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Why are my latkes not crispy?
You may be overcrowding the pan when you bake them. You don't want them touching otherwise they might steam instead of crispy up.
How can the kids help?
  • They can help peel the potatoes with a child-friendly peeler. This is the brand I like for kid's utensils - The Curious Chef!
  • I also taught my kids how to grate the potato. They thought that was fun to do. Gorilla Grater.
  • Your kids can also help weigh the ingredients for the chutney and add that to the mixing bowl.
