I never include flour in latkes; My grandmother never did. I do use eggs, however. still think you can probably omit them without replacing them. The taste will be more like hashbrowns, but fried potato patties are never a bad thing.
My daughter is allergic to eggs and I am gluten free! We always follow usual directions, and use rice flour and simply omit the eggs. It makes flatter latkes, but they crisp up and taste great. They are just a bit more delicate. You can use any recipe.
Susan g.. nope I did not squeeze out any moisture (maybe I should have) Immediately mixed them with the chickpea flour and spices , the water gets soaked up by the chickpea flour . and fried them immediately else the potato tends to turn dark.
I had posted this on my Facebook food page way before I got my blog in order.. Chick pea flour is gluten free. hope it helps..

Panfusine, questions! You didn't squeeze the vegetables. Do they give off liquid so that the chick pea flour is absorbed? How long did you let the ingredients sit after you mixed them? I love your solution. Even with traditional latkes, which I make with egg, I don't like using a grain thickener (like matzo meal, from wheat), and now we're dealing with gluten free anyway, so this is wonderful. With the raita, it looks wonderful!
Thanks so much for your help! I actually DO need dairy free as well. :) I usually sub organic rice milk for everything. My kids aren't big soy fans. Can't wait to try your suggestion! Thank you again!
Mix your shredded potatoes with leftover mashed potatoes that you made with soy or almond milk....dust with some rice flour. Make sure your shredded potatoes have been patted dry, and the mashed potatoes are a little on the dry side as well...that is key to getting a crispy latke. (also a hot pan, hot oil)
