Vegan Potato Latkes

These Vegan Potato Latkes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them a delightful appetizer for any occasion. Paired with a tangy apple sauce or a dollop of vegan sour cream, they are sure to impress your taste buds.

Ingredients

• Russet potatoes - 2 medium (about 400g)
• Yellow onion - 1 small (about 100g)
• All-purpose flour - 3 tablespoons (30g)
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon (8g)
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons (15g)
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon (4g)
• Salt - 1 teaspoon (6g)
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon (2g)
• Olive oil - for frying
• Applesauce - for serving (optional)

Steps

1. Peel and grate the potatoes and onion using a box grater or food processor, then place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated onion, flour, cornstarch, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
4. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture and flatten it into a patty. Place it in the hot skillet. Repeat with remaining mixture, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet.
5. Cook each latke for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Add more oil as needed for frying.
6. Once cooked, transfer the latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
7. Serve warm with applesauce or vegan sour cream on the side.
