Mixed Potato Latkes (Vegan)
In this MIXED Potato Latke recipe, we are using regular potato AND sweet potato. I tried making this recipe with two different types of sweet potatoes (orange on the inside and white on the inside) and both worked out perfectly.
Ingredients
Mixed Potato Latkes:
- 1 medium russet potato
- 1 small sweet potato, OR ½ of a large sweet potato
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp flax meal
- 2 tbsp cold water
- 2 tsp italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- cooking spray or vegetable oil
Vegan Yogurt Dip:
- ½ cup vegan plain yogurt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Using a medium grater, grate both of the potatoes into a large bowl.
- To rinse out the starch: fill the large bowl with cold water and swish the shredded potatoes around with your hand. Let it soak for 5mins. Drain the shredded potatoes using a sieve or colander. Toss it back into the large bowl and fill with water again. Repeat 2-3 times until the water is no longer filled with starch.
- While the potato shreds are soaking at one point, make the flax egg by combining the flax meal and water. Let it sit until ready to use.
- After rinsing out the starch and draining the water out of the large bowl of shredded potato, add the flax egg, flour, italian seasoning and salt and pepper. Using two forks, mix everything to combine. Be sure to get rid of any clumps of flour or flax egg. You can also use your hands to better incorporate everything together.
- To fry: Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium-high heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray or brush with vegetable oil.
- Scoop up about ⅓ cup of the potato mixture and flatten onto the frying pan. Add another latke into the pan if there is space.
- Cover the pan with a lid and fry for 4-5mins. Remove the lid and flip the latkes. Reduce heat to medium-low. With the lid uncovered, fry for another 4-5mins. Remove the latkes from the pan and repeat with the remaining potato mixture. Be sure to brush the pan with oil or spray with cooking spray in between each batch.
- To make the vegan yogurt dipping sauce, combine all the ingredients in a bowl.
- Serve the mixed potato latkes with the yogurt sauce or with your favourite sauce!
Notes
- If you don’t have italian seasoning, you can make your own. See above for more details.
- If you end up with a little slice of potato after grating the majority of it, you can just add it into the shredded mixture.
- When swishing the shredded potato in water, you are also mixing the two potatoes together!
- When adding the flour and flax egg into the bowl of shredded potato, try to disperse it around the bowl so that the mixing process is easier.
