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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Finely chop the green onions and set them aside.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Cook the potato pancakes for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the skillet if necessary.
Step 9
Serve the vegan potato pancakes warm, accompanied by your favorite vegan sour cream or applesauce if desired.
