Latkes (potato pancakes)

Previously posted to SoFlaVeg

 

12 medium potatoes unpeeled

1 1/2 medium onions

1 package silken tofu, firm

1 1/2 tsps salt

2 tsps baking powder

oil

 

Heat oil in a large skillet to fry the latkes.

 

Place potatoes in a large pot of boiling water and cook until almost done

(approximately 45 minutes). Drain and place in a colander to cool. Use your food

processor shredding disc to shred the potatoes. They will look a bit like

mashed potatoes when you're done, but you'll still have some chunks. Discard any

large pieces of peel. Put in a large bowl. Depending upon the bowl size of your

processor, you may need to do this step several times.

 

Remove the shred disc and mince the onions. Add to the potatoes. Next add the

tofu, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.

 

Use a large spoon and spatula to add the latke to the oil. Brown on one side,

flip over, brown the other side then remove to a plate covered with paper towels

to drain. Enjoy with applesauce or vegan Tofutti sour cream.
