Ingredients
- 2 pounds of potatoes peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour if desired
- 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Plant-based butter or oil for frying
- Fresh chives or green onions finely sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Start by peeling and grating the potatoes. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, flour, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Take a spoonful of the potato mixture and shape it into a flat patty. Gently place the patty into the hot oil and press it down slightly with a spatula.
- Cook the potato cakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
- Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
- Serve the egg-free potato cakes hot and enjoy their delicious crispy exterior and fluffy interior.
Notes
When storing your potato cake in the refrigerator, make sure to place it on a flat surface or in a shallow container to maintain its shape. You can also layer parchment paper between each slice to prevent them from sticking together.
To further extend the shelf life of your potato cake, consider freezing it. Wrap individual slices or the entire cake in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer bag or airtight container. Frozen potato cakes can last for up to 3 months.
When you're ready to enjoy your stored potato cake, simply thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or reheat it in the oven or microwave. It may not be as crispy as when it was freshly made, but it will still be delicious and satisfying.
