We are potato lovers in our family. We're a big old mix of Northern European and it is likely our ancestors ate potatoes, cabbage, and turnips from times immemorial. Potatoes are in our DNA. If you are a potato lover, too, I know you probably already like potato pancakes-- but these are VEGAN so no eggy factor. Have you tried a potato waffle yet? You'll fall in love with it when you do!
The first recipe is shown in the picture above-- Wyona's healthy vegetarian (or vegan) potato pancake. Only one tablespoon of oil. The egg-replacer listed here is ground flax, but you could also use ground chia seed or a commercial egg replacer powder. Wyona calls for amaranth, millet or quinoa flour, but I'm pretty sure you could use a mixed Gluten-Free flour of your choice. Here are the ingredients you will need for Wyona's Potato pancake:
- 6 medium-sized peeled potatoes
- 1 fresh lemon
- tapioca starch
- amaranth (or millet or quinoa flour)
- 1 onion, your choice
- salt
- 2 T. ground flax
- rib of celery
- 1 red bell pepper
- cooking oil (olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, etc. is fine)
And the method:
In medium large bowl:
GRATE 6 peeled potatoes
ADD juice of 1 lemon
ADD juice of 1 lemon
TOSS and let stand 5 minutes
ADD 3 T. tapioca starch
3 T. amaranth flour (or other GF flour)
1 C. finely-chopped onion
1/2 - 1 tsp. salt
2 T. ground flax seed (or ground chia seed)
3 T. fresh chopped celery and/or red bell pepper
3 T. oil
Cook until golden-brown on both sides. (Frying pan or on parchment paper in air fryer)
4-6 servings

Last year I experimentally used straw as a bed for my seed potatoes. I was pretty shocked at how that worked out You can read about it Here.
