Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium golden potatoes
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 small yellow onion
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup chickpea flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup water
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Peel the golden potatoes and grate them into a large bowl. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Peel and grate the carrot, and finely chop the onion.
In the bowl with the grated potatoes, add the grated carrot and chopped onion.
Mix in the all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, baking powder, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, ground turmeric, and ground cumin.
Stir in the finely chopped fresh parsley and water to create a thick batter that holds together when scooped.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture into the skillet for each fritter. Flatten each one slightly with the back of a spoon.
Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your choice of vegan dipping sauce or enjoy them plain.
