Cauli Potato Latkes

Cauli Potato Latkes- If you don’t like latkes we can’t be friends sorry! I put a little twist on this classic Hanukkah food… made these with a mix of potatoes and cauliflower in attempt to light them up a little! Vegan, gluten free, made with real ingredients and lots of love! Try these ASAP, you still got a few nights left… AKA an excuse to eat these bad boys every night- you’re welcome!

Ingredients
2 cups riced cauli
3 medium russet potatoes
1 white onion
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup chickpea flour
Avocado Oil
1/2 tsp Salt
Black Pepper to taste 

Toppings:
Unsweetened apple sauce
Dairy free Sour cream

Method

  • Start out by peeling the potatoes.  To shred them, you can use a grater and do it by hand OR use a food processor.  I opted for the grater to give texture.  Then you’ll need to squeeze out the excess water form the shredded potatoes.  You can do this using a cheese cloth and ringing it out, getting rid of as much moisture as possible (important for crisp factor).  Add drained shreds to a large bowl.

  • Chop onions in a food processor and add to the bowl. 

  • Add in chopped parsley, chickpea flour, salt, and pepper.

  • Heat avocado oil in a large frying pan.  Make sure to cover the bottom of the pan with enough oil, around an 1/8 of an inch deep (the latkes shouldn’t be fully submerged, about halfway only). 

  • Form latkes with about 2 tbsp of mixture, flatten out with spatula once in the pan.  Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until crispy golden brown.

  • Remove from the pan and place on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up excess oil.

  • Serve hot with sour cream, applesauce, or your fave toppings!  Makes about 20. 

TIP: As an additional binding agent you can use the starch from the potatoes. Reserve the water squeezed from the potatoes in a bowl, the starch will settle to the bottom and you can pour out the water so you are left with just the starch. Then add and mix this into the latke batter.

**Avocado oil has a high smoke point so it’s actually great for shallow frying! Healthier than most oils you’d typically fry with
