How do these latkes get crispy without frying?

These latkes achieve their crispiness through a specific oven-baking method, involving multiple flips at 425 degreesF until golden brown, rather than deep frying.

What makes these latkes vegan and gluten-free?

They are vegan by using a flax and chia seed mixture as an egg binder, and gluten-free by incorporating gluten-free quick oats and oat flour.

Can I prepare the potato and onion mixture ahead of time?

It's best to process the potatoes and onions just before mixing, as they can oxidize and release more moisture if left to sit for too long, affecting the latkes' texture.

What's the best way to ensure the latkes aren't soggy?

After processing, drain the potato and onion mixture thoroughly in a colander for 10 minutes, pressing down with a paper towel to remove excess moisture before combining with other ingredients.

What are good topping suggestions for these latkes?

These oven-baked latkes are delicious topped with homemade applesauce or a dollop of creamy vegan sour cream, as suggested in the recipe.

How to Prepare Oven-Baked Latkes [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Preheat oven to 425°F, spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray, and set aside.
In small mixing bowl, combine ground flax with water and set aside.
Add potatoes and onions to high-speed blender or food processor, and process until they appear to be chopped finely.
Pour into colander and let drain for 10 minutes, pressing down with a paper towel occasionally to soak up excess moisture.
Place potato and onion mixture in large mixing bowl, add in remaining ingredients (including flax mixture), and stir to combine.
Form into 14 equal-sized patties, and place on baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, flip and bake for 10 minutes, flip again and bake for 5 minutes, flip again and bake for 5 minutes. Repeat this until desired brown-ness is reached (mine were done after three flips).
