HERE THEY ARE...wholewheat, & containing healthy turmeric, these are great with apples sauce and sour cream, or poached eggs, for breakfast; lunch any meals not just celebrations.
Variations are at the end of the recipe.
(this recipe may be halved or doubled)
this makes 24 medium or 48 cocktail sized
4 pounds starchy potatoes unpeeled but well washed.
1 medium onion ( you may add more)
3-4 large eggs
whole wheat flour
nutritional yeast (optional)
sea salt ground black pepper
grape seed oil or peanut oil * they don't break down at high temps

| I PREFER TO GRATE MINE USING A BOX GRATER, mechanical graters tend to chop as well as grind,and also retain more moisture. Don't process or chop or they will come out like potato chips when cooked. |
 | ||
| Grate all the potatoes and sprinkle with sea salt and leave for 30 mins, I put mine in a colander, to release their juice which is the enemy of crisp latkes. After 30 mins strain the potatoes and wring out in a cotton towel. |
 |
| also grate the onion, I used a purple one but you may use any. Do not add the grated onion until the potatoes have been drained |
 |
| beat the eggs before mixing |
 |
| Prepare the latkes in 2 batches, (above this is 2 pounds grated potatoes), then add about 1/4-1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 4tsbp nutritional yeast(optional),GROUND BLACK PEPPER TO TASTE, add half the grated onion, 2 tbsp ground turmeric, and mix well, as you cook the latkes the potato mix will lose more water, do not mix this back in, keep the mix as dry as possible |
 |
| Using a fork as a measure (again to reduce the moisture in the latkes), gently place 2-3 fork fulls in very hot oil, to form a pancake and cook until golden brown and turn over just once. |
 |
| Drain on a wire rack, do not use paper towels as they pancakes will stick, keep warm in a 250F oven or store wrapped in wax paper and foil, these may be frozen ahead of time |
 |
| The moisture leaking out...do not mix in |
 |
| My OWN apple and banana sauce for the DIRTY LATKES |
You may add grated apples, yams, beets, carrots, parsnips etc.
Serve as any potato pancake-hash browns
great topped with:
smoked fish , salsa, chopped boiled eggs, cheese, tomato slices, yogurt, apple and mint sauces, vegan cheeses, sprouts, hummus, dips and spreads..the list is endless
Makes a great supper dish with baked beans
Use any flour you prefer even GF with chickpea flour, with vegan cooking avoid chia seeds as they retain moisture.
Happy Holidays and Eating
