Instructions:
1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters.
2. Place the potato pieces in a large pot of salted water (use 4 tsp of the sea salt).
3. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes until tender, about 20 minutes.
4. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes until smooth. Let them cool slightly.
1. While the potatoes are boiling, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onions and cook until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms release their liquid and become tender, about 7-10 minutes.
4. Season with 2 tsp of sea salt and a dash of black pepper. Mix well and remove from heat. Allow the mixture to cool.
1. Once the mashed potatoes have cooled slightly, stir in the remaining 2 tsp of sea salt.
2. Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mashed potatoes, mixing until you form a smooth dough.
1. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions, rolling each into a ball.
2. Flatten each ball into a round disk (~0.5-inch thick) using your hands.
3. Place a spoonful of the mushroom and onion filling in the center of each disk.
4. Carefully fold the edges over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a ball again. Flatten gently to form a patty.
1. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat.
2. Cook the potato cakes in the skillet until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.
3. Cook in batches if necessary, adding more oil if needed.
- Serve the potato cakes warm, garnished with your favorite herbs or a dollop of vegan sour cream, if desired.
