Ingredients

  • 2 cups grated russet potatoes with skins,
  • cup unbleached all purpose flour
  • 3 Tbsp sliced green onion
  • 3 Tbsp unsweetened nondairy milk
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • salt & black pepper to taste
  • vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • After grating the potatoes, squeeze out as much moisture as you can. If you prefer, strain the grated potatoes in a colander, let them sit for a few minutes, pour off the clearer liquid and add the thicker potato starch to the mixture.
  • Put the grated and drained potatoes, flour, green onion, nondairy milk, cornstarch, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix well.
  • Preheat 1/4" to 1/2" of vegetable oil in a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat.
  • While the oil heats, ready the cooling racks by putting them on a paper towel-lined surface.
  • Spoon a generous 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the pan and flatten to about a 1/4" thickness with a spatula. Fry until golden brown, flip and do the same on the other side.
  • Remove the cooked latkes to the cooling racks.
