Whether its celery-root potatoes latkes, zucchini puffers, or potato pancakes, they are all one of those delicious dishes that just don\u2019t get enough love. They are simple to make, super delicious and so very satisfying. Something we should enjoy more often! And let\u2019s just say, they have a lot more to offer than Sunday pancakes \u2014 they are packed with goodness too!<\/p>\n

This version of latkes (or puffers for that matter) are made with herbaceous celery root, a little potato (for its umami<\/a> qualities), fresh herbs and aromatics like garlic and onion. Chickpea flour is my choice, firstly because I love its flavor and secondly it gluten-free, which means its a friendly choice for anyone who needs to avoid gluten. Crispy on the outside and hearty and soft within, these delicious golden \u201cpancakes\u201d can be served with a dollop of apple sauce or cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche for a deliciously light meal. They\u2019re also kid-friendly, and ideal for snacking, breakfast (or brunch) and beyond!<\/p>\n

Testing the LeMax\u00ae electric grill for the perfect celery-root potato latkes<\/h2>\n

This latkes recipe was the perfect chance for me to once again test out my ELAG LeMax tabletop grill<\/a>. You might already be familiar with this indoor (and outdoor) glass-ceramic grill since it\u2019s been at home in my kitchen for a few years now. Maybe you remember when I first introduced it with Grilled Eggplant, Tomato, Halloumi and Bulgur Salad<\/a> or when we made Grill-Pizza with the kids. It\u2019s the perfect thing to put to use when you need a large cooking surface, want to skip using the oven or simply want to save some time.<\/p>\n

Putting the LeMax grill surface to use<\/h2>\n

What I particularly love about using a tabletop grill for this type of recipe is that it makes it so easy to cook a full batch of latkes in one go. And if I want to double up the recipe, that\u2019s easy too \u2014 only two rounds instead of multiple ones or having to use more than one frying pan (whilst keeping the previous rounds warm in the oven). Cook. Serve. Enjoy. And with the glass-ceramic surface you barely need any oil. Yes, less fat! You only need to brush the surface with enough to coat it and you are ready to go. You can expect even heating, with no sticking in \u201chot spots\u201d \u2014 an absolutely perfect gentle, low fat cooking.<\/p>\n

Tips for cleaning the LeMax glass ceramic tabletop grill<\/h2>\n

Keeping your LeMax as good as new is easy. While the surface is still warm, use a scraper or spatula to remove any excess food debris. Then once the surface is cool, apply a little glass-ceramic stovetop cleaning solution or a scouring liquid. Using a standard kitchen sponge, with the coarse side, scrub the surface to remove any cooking residue. The surface is scratch resistant, so it’s fine to apply pressure when cleaning. Just be careful not to use the scratchy side of the sponge on the aluminum, as it will scratch. After you have cleaning away or grease or residue, wipe with surface lean with a kitchen cloth, and finally with a kitchen towel or paper towel. Good as new!<\/p>\n

And if you are still wondering what the LeMax experience is like, then give it a try. It can be used for anything from grilling, frying, baking and anything in between. Whether it’s pancakes, pizza, steaks or vegetables. Produced in Germany, it really can bring your cooking experience to the next level! Check out my video to see for yourself!<\/p>\n
