Potato Cakes (vegan potato cakes)

Ingredients
  • 500 potatoes *
  • carrot (about 100 g) (or more potatoes)
  • 35 flour * (optional gluten-free)
  • 40 g of grated vegan cheese (optional)
  • 1-2 tablespoons spring onion or chives chopped
  • tablespoon of parsley chopped
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
  • some (breadcrumb) flour


Instructions
  1. Cook the potatoes with the shell and carrot. Then drain off the cooking water and allow to evaporate. Peel the potatoes and stomp with the carrot with a potato masher. Allow to cool completely. (Optionally, you can use leftover potatoes).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mix the mashed potatoes with the herbs and spices. Add flour and vegan cheese and mix well.
  3. Make about 6-8 round balls from the potato mass (you can also make smaller cakes, if you like). Then toss in some flour (or breadcrumbs) and press flat to patties.
  4. In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat.
  5. Roast the potato cakes from each side until golden brown for about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Serve with cashew dip or vegan cream cheese and fresh herbs.
