Vegan Latkes! Shredded potatoes flavored with cilantro and turmeric, crispy on the outside and creamy inside.  A nice little twist on the traditional potato Latkes we ate growing up Jewish, a Chanukah (Hanukkah) favorite.

When we celebrate the Jewish holiday Hanukkah, we make and eat tons of fried foods. This is symbolic of the miracle of the oil that lasted for 8 days in the temple. We don't normally eat fried food very often, so Hanukkah is definitely a special treat for our families.

Potato Latkes are typically held together with whisked eggs before being shaped and fried. We wanted to make a vegan version so we got to testing recipes without egg and this recipe is our vegan gift to you this holiday season.

To all of you celebrating tomorrow, Happy Hanukkah!

Description

Vegan Latkes! Shredded potatoes flavored with cilantro and turmeric, crispy on the outside and creamy inside.  A nice little twist on the traditional potato Latkes, a Chanukah (Hanukkah) favorite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, grated
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 large garlic clove, grated
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp turmeric
  • ⅓ cups vegan mayo
  • ¾ cups vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  2. Place grated potatoes in a colander with a bowl or plate underneath. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt on the potatoes and mix well. Let stand for 10 minutes (the potatoes will release some liquid)
  3. Using a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel, ring out excess moisture from the grated potatoes (make sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible)
  4. Add garlic, salt, pepper, turmeric, chopped cilantro and vegan sandwich spread and mix well until well combined with the potatoes. Using your hands, form about 15 small latkes
  5. Heat about ¼ cup of oil in a non stick skillet skillet and drop about 5 latkes at a time. Cook at medium heat, 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Repeat the process two more times, using ¼ cup of oil each time.
  6. Place latkes on the lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crispy

    Do you serve your Latkes with any sort of dip? or are they just as is?

      Actually, this may sound a little non-traditional, but we like serving our latkes with a side salad. We love how they soak up the dressing! Here are some of our favorites: http://wp.me/p255qa-aS
