INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups packed, grated, and drained potato 
• ⅓ cup unbleached all purpose flour
• 3 tbsp unsweetened nondairy milk
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 ¼ tsp salt
• ½ tsp baking powder
• black pepper, to taste
• vegetable oil, for frying (canola, olive, or coconut all work well)
• optional: 2 tbsp fresh, chopped dill
• optional: ¼ cup vegan cheese shreds

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Grate potatoes and squeeze out as much moisture as you can using paper towel.
2. Combine 2 cups grated potato, flour, green onion, almond milk, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and black pepper (optional: add dill and vegan cheese.) Mix well to develop the gluten in the flour (which helps with binding.)
3. In a frying pan, preheat a generous amount of vegetable oil over medium heat.
4. Spoon ¼-1/3 cup of potato mixture into the pan. Use a spatula or pancake flipper to flatten the patty to about ¼" thick. Fry until golden brown, flip, and fry the other side. Drain excess oil on paper towel if necessary.
