Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 4 pieces green onion
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons chickpea flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater. Place the grated potatoes into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze to remove as much moisture as possible.
Finely chop the green onions and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped green onions, all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to combine.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and form it into a patty with your hands. Carefully place the patty into the hot oil.
Cook the potato pancakes for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the skillet if necessary.
Serve the vegan potato pancakes warm, accompanied by your favorite vegan sour cream or applesauce if desired.
