There are also recipes out there devised from the start and tested without eggs. No, i haven't made them either, but they may be worth a look....using mashed potatoes, flax seed, etc
PS Most of the ones without eggs tend to be vegan, but you could add back any dairy-based ingredients you like and your daughter can eat. Also the best ones I know of use mashed potatoes, which give a nice texture. For example, here's one in a link. https://www.plantbasedcooking.com/recipe/mashed-potato-pancakes/
Hi! I haven't tested this, but you could try a few of these options instead of the egg: 3 tablespoons aquafaba (the liquid in canned chickpeas); OR 2 tablespoons cornstarch/potato starch + 3 tablespoons water; OR 1 egg's worth of a vegan egg replacer like Bob's Red Mill or Just Egg
Thank you both for your prompt replies ! I’m going to make a version tomorrow. I don’t have potato starch on hand, but do have arrowroot, so will try with that in place of the egg.
Also will this work with a glass Pyrex pan ? Or a Le Creuset stoneware pan ?
Probably yes with either in the oven. I'd be cautious/wary about stovetop use. Before doing that, check the manuals or websites for safety and use instructions.
I did not test with a glass/ceramic baking dish, so I can't say for sure that the latkes will turn out as crisp as they would in a sheet pan, where you'll have heat conduction from the metal, as well as more surface area. But feel free to try and let us know how it goes!
