Mini Potato Latkes with Smoked Salmon (paleo)

These Mini Potato Latkes with Smoked Salmon are the perfect appetizer or side dish. Plus they are paleo, gluten-free and EASY to make.

HEY BABY!! If you want a latke recipe for the holidays or really any time of the year – I gotchu.

Apparently I married a professional potato grater. Because mcjordO has been grating the potatoes for us every single year since I met him. He will literally do *anything* to eat latkes. And I’m not going to lie – we make some really really good latkes. I love how easy they are to make, just don’t love much they make a mess/stink up my apartment .. but for the classic eats – it so worth it.

You can use this healthier latke recipe as your go-to for potato pancakes OR you can take things up a notch and add some cream cheese and smoked salmon like we did here and serve them as a little appetizer of sorts. I loved making these for Hanukkah and the holidays and our kids devoured them too. And if you are pasycho like me.. just make these the day before you plan to clean the kitchen because – wow! They mark their territory.

You can also probably oven bake these too, but they of course wouldn’t get as crispy.

I hope you love them as much as we do!!
