Vegan Potato Pancakes Ingredients (use vegan versions): 4 potatoes (any kind will do)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons onion powder or 1/2 chopped diced onion
1/4 cup olive oil
egg replacer: 4 tablespoon of water, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions:The egg replacer is easy, mix together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 4 teaspoons baking powder and 4 tablespoon water in a bowl. Whisk it together. This makes about two "eggs".
Now in a large bowl, beat together the "eggs", flour, baking powder salt, and pepper. Now peel off the skin of your potatoes and shred it into flakes with a grater. Dice your 1/2 onion or if you're using onion powder, just dump it into the big bowl with your batter. Put the potato shreds into the bowl along with your diced onion if you used one. Whisk it.
Heat oil in a large skillet at medium heat. Drop heaping spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the skillet. Or if you're like me, just dump all the batter into a huge skillet and cook ( not recommended). Press the batter with a spatula to flatten it. Cook a few minutes on each side, until browned and crispy. Yay! You're done! These are good along side a nice glass of apple juice.
