These vegan latkes are a delicious twist on the traditional potato pancakes. Top them off with applesauce or vegan cheese, and savor every flavorful bite!
Ingredients
4 large russet potatoes, peeled
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
-
Grate the peeled potatoes using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
-
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water, and let it sit for about 5 minutes to form a flax "egg".
-
In a large bowl, mix together the grated potatoes, chopped onion, flour, flax "egg", salt, and pepper until well combined.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
-
Take about 2 tablespoons of the latke mixture and form it into a small patty. Gently place it in the hot oil. Repeat with the remaining mixture, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
-
Fry the latkes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
-
Repeat the frying process with the remaining latke mixture, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
-
Serve the vegan latkes warm with your favorite toppings, such as dairy-free sour cream, applesauce, or vegan cheese.
