Beet carrot mozzarella latkes
These gluten-free latkes are always a hit because they have such gorgeous color, flavor and are cheesy when you bite into them! They are so flavorful that you don’t even need any toppings! You can make them hours in advance and just warm them up in the oven right before serving.
Tips for successful latkes: Drain as well as you can. Don’t make too many at a time and don’t move them or touch them in between. Use a spatula and a wooden spoon to turn the latke to its other side. If your oil gets dirty and bubbly, pour it out and pat the pan dry and use fresh oil for the next batch.
