    Recipe Introduction


    from: The Culinary Couple’s Creative Colitis Cookbook: 100 Recipes for Low-Fiber, Low-Residue Diets used while treating Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn’s Disease flare-ups.


    List of Ingredients




    1/4 cup vegetable oil
    4 baking potatoes
    1 egg
    1/4 cup rice based gf flour blend
    1/2 cup onions, finely diced
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/2 tsp. black pepper
    1 tbs. chopped parsley

    Recipe



    Wash and peel the potatoes. Grate the potatoes into a mixing bowl. Press firmly on the grated potatoes to remove excess water. Add the egg, flour, diced onions, salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.

    Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan. Wait for the oil to become hot before adding the pancakes. Drop approximately 2 tbs. of the mixture per pancake into the hot oil.

    Fry the pancakes for 3-4 minutes per side. Remove them from the oil when they have become golden in color and have a crispy texture. Serve the pancakes with a dollop of soy sour cream substitute. Garnish with the chopped parsley.

    (Recipe serves 4.)

    Note from BL: Around my house this feeds one hungry teen :-). Sometimes we get one each. But you can make them ahead cook and freeze easily so that you have food ready for other meals. Some call this a side dish, but when we have latkes here, it's the whole meal.
    Variations on latkes using califlower might also work if you can tolerate cruciferous veg. Beet and carrot variations would be too high in fructose for an acute episode.
