Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/3 cup(s) cooked quinoa
3 cup(s) peeled & grated raw potato (I used russets)
2 large organic eggs
2 teaspoon(s) fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) black pepper
4 medium green onions or scallions
2 tablespoon(s) butter or ghee
1 tablespoon(s) coconut oil

Steps:

Peel and grate potatoes.
Note: After grating the russet potatoes, I squeezed them out in my hand to get rid of a lot of the excess moisture. This will help keep the potatoes together better when you cook them.
Combine the cooked quinoa, eggs, grated potato, pepper, and salt in a large bowl. (You can also add some herbs here.) I added some garlic powder at this point. But you can add what you want, the possibilities are endless.
Mix well.
Heat a large skillet with the butter/ghee and coconut oil over medium heat. Note: I used ghee for this since it doesn't burn like butter, but it's of course up to you.
Using a 1/3 size measuring cup, scoop out the quinoa/potato mixture and place in the hot skillet.
With a spatula, flatten the latke.
Add another scoop of mixture and flatten. Repeat. I made 4 at a time. I added a little more coconut oil/ghee to the skillet for the second batch.
Cook the latkes for about 5-7 minutes on each side, but if your pan is hotter than mine it might take less. Just make sure the insides aren't runny.
As you cook the latkes place on a paper towel when you remove them from the pan. This will take out some of the excess fat, I patted the tops too.
Serve warm with some sour cream or applesauce, or both, it would be yummy. Bon Appetit!!!
