Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed potato
- 1 1/2 cups raw potato, peeled and grated
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 -3 tablespoons vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together the plant-based milk and lemon juice. Add ground flaxseed and let sit for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Place the grated raw potato in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potato, grated potato, flour, nutritional yeast, baking powder, and salt.
- Pour in the plant-based milk mixture and stir until well combined. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to thicken slightly. If the batter is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more plant-based milk. If it is too loose, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more flour.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Scoop out a portion (about 1/4 cup) of the potato mixture and shape it into a pancake about 1/2 inch thick. Place it gently onto the hot skillet.
- Cook the pancake for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. If needed, add more oil to the skillet before flipping the pancake.
- Once cooked, transfer the pancake to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the vegan Irish potato pancakes warm.
