vegan potato pancakes

These crispy latkes are filled with hand grated potatos and are dairy-free and eggless! Making fried latkes is easier than you think and will be a hit at your Hannukah gathering.

Vegan Potato Latkes

russet potatoes (about 3.5-4 cups grated)

onion (about 1 cup grated)

all-purpose flour

Potato starch (from potatoes- see instructions)

garlic powder

parsley

salt & pepper

Vegetable oil

First, make the flax egg and set aside.

Next, grate the onions and potatoes into a large bowl. Add to a cheesecloth or nut milk bag and strain the potatoes over the bowl. Don't discard the potato liquid yet as you will want to use the starch that settles to the bottom of the bowl in the batter.

Add the strained grated potatoes and onions to a separate bowl. Then, add in the flax egg, all-purpose flour, and spices. As a final step, dump out the water from the bowl containing the potato liquid. At the bottom there should be a layer of potato starch. Add this to the bowl with the rest of the latke ingredients and stir until well mixed. The potato pancake batter should be slightly sticky, but not too wet. If it's too dry, add in 1-2 Tbsp of almond milk and mix.

Next, fill up your frying pan until it is 1/4 inch high in oil. Once the oil is hot, scoop out the latke batter and add it to the pan. Use a spatula to immediately press down and flatten each latke so it is not too thick. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Fry each latke for 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned and crispy. Once the latkes are done, remove and place onto a paper towel lined plate to soak up any excess oil.

Serve the latkes while still warm with your choice of toppings. Enjoy!

Root Vegetable Pancakes

tbsp Ground Flax + 5 tbsp Water

Brown Rice Flour

Non-Dairy Milk

½ tsp Fresh Rosemary, minced

½ tsp Fresh Thyme, minced

tsp Salt

Shallot,

Rosemary Garlic Cashew Cream,

First, prepare your Flax “eggs” by mixing 2 tbsp of Ground Flax with Water in a small bowl. Set Aside for 5-10 minutes.

Once thickened, add the Flax Egg to a large bowl, along with the Brown Rice Flour and ½ cup of Non-Dairy Milk, Rosemary, Thyme, and Salt. Whisk until well-combined.

Add the Root Veggie Mix and the diced Shallot to the same bowl and fold into the batter.

Heat a nonstick pan or griddle to medium-low. Add 1/2 cup of the batter to the pan and spread it out a bit using a spatula, so each Pancake is about 1/2″ thick. Let cook on this side for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. (Note: if you don&#8217;t have a Nonstick Pan or it&#8217;s a little old, you will need to add some Oil to the pan to prevent things from sticking)

Repeat with the remaining batter, cooking multiple pancakes at one time if your pan allows for it. You may have to raise/lower the heat depending on how fast your pan heats up.

Top with Rosemary Garlic Cashew Cream, or as desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Alternatively, you can freeze the leftovers for up to one month.

Hi there!  I just made a double recipe of these, but I grated fresh root veggies instead.  What a great recipe, thank you so much for sharing!  I ate two of them with hummus and they are delicious!!!  The rest are going in the freezer :)

Would this work to bake them and make with fresh root vegetables instead? what temperature and length of time would you recommend?

I tried to make this into pancakes but found the middle of the pancake wasn't cooked to my liking  (this is probably because I used fresh grated uncooked veggies and probably made the pancakes too thick...). But instead, i put it back in the pan, broke it up, and sauteed it around to turn it into hashbrowns! Very delicious! And i put the leftover batter in the fridge - planning to make fresh hashbrowns with it throughout the week.

Oh my god, thank you so much for this recipe! It was absolutely delicious!!
