Wanna try this Would it still work if I don’t beat the whites? looking for a simple recipe for cheese latkes to make on pesach. I saw another recipe that looked simpler but it was a chometzdik recipe so wasn’t sure if I could sub potato starch for the flour? And if I could, would it be cup for cup?
Hi, you must beat the egg whites! Egg whites become thick and fluffy when beaten and if you don’t beat them it will totally change the texture of your latke (and they won’t be fluffy!). The general rule is that you can substitute potato starch for flour, however, it does vary from recipe to recipe.
This recipe is a hit with my family! Last year I made it without beating the egg whites and while not wasn’t fluffy, it was still delicious and requested this pesach just made it now, properly, with the beaten egg whites and it only made them better. Thanks for a great recipe!
