Yield 8 large

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large russet potato, peeled and grated (2 cups)
1/4 teaspoon minced yellow onion
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon brown rice flour
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds mixed with 3 tablespoons water
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, optional
1/4 teaspoon paprika, optional, try smoked
Vegan Sour Cream
3/4 cup vegan mayonnaise (Vegenaise or home made)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon minced fresh dill or a pinch of dried dill, option

Steps:

Preparation 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. You can speed this process up by using the grater attachment on a food processor for the potatoes. 2. Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of the mixture for each latke on to a very well-oiled baking sheet. Flatten to approximately 1/4-inch thick. Bake for 8 minutes. 3. Flip the pancakes and bake, until golden brown, approximately 8 minutes before serving. Variations Make smaller latkes by using 2 tablespoons, instead of 1/4 cup of the batter in each pancake. Replace 1 cup grated potato with grated sweet potato or yam. Add 1 tablespoon of minced fresh dill, parsley, or basil. Add 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion. Add 1 clove pressed or minced garlic and 1/2 teaspoon seeded and diced chile pepper. 1/2 cup peeled and grated parsnip or carrot. Create Italian latkes by adding 1 tablespoon Italian Spice Mix Go Mexican by adding 1 tablespoon minced cilantro and 1 teaspoon each of chile powder and cumin. Add 1/2 cup grated vegan cheese for an over the top latke experience.
