Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for a few minutes to release excess starch.
- Peel and finely chop the onion.
- Peel and finely mince the garlic clove.
- Drain the grated potatoes using a fine-mesh sieve or colander. Squeeze out as much water as possible by pressing the potatoes. Use paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to further pat them dry if necessary. This step is crucial to ensure crispy pancakes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained and squeezed potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, buckwheat flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- The mixture should hold together when pressed. If it feels too wet, add a touch more buckwheat flour. If too dry, you may add a small amount of water.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Using a spoon or your hands, form small patties with the mixture, about the size of the palm of your hand and approximately 1/2 inch thick.
- Carefully place the patties in the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Continue cooking the remaining batter, adding more olive oil to the skillet as necessary.
- Serve the vegan potato pancakes hot, garnished with your choice of toppings. They pair wonderfully with vegan sour cream, applesauce, or a fresh green salad.
Tips:
- Grate the potatoes finely.: Finely grating the potatoes ensures a smooth and even texture for the pancakes, helping them cook evenly and hold together well.
- Squeeze out excess moisture.: After grating the potatoes and onions, use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This will prevent the pancakes from becoming soggy.
- Preheat the pan.: Make sure to preheat your pan over medium heat before adding the olive oil. This helps in achieving a nice, crispy exterior on the pancakes.
- Don't overcrowd the pan.: Cook the pancakes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. This allows for even cooking and helps maintain the desired crispiness.
- Keep the pancakes warm.: If you're making a large batch, keep the cooked pancakes warm in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) while you finish cooking the rest of the batter.
- Experiment with toppings.: Try serving the pancakes with various vegan toppings like dairy-free sour cream, tangy applesauce, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added flavor.
Vegan potato pancakes with buckwheat flour and onion are a delightful way to enjoy a plant-based meal. They are easy to prepare, packed with flavor, and offer a satisfying texture. Whether you're serving them for a special brunch or a casual dinner, these pancakes are sure to be a hit. Pair them with your favorite vegan sour cream, applesauce, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
