Vegan German Potato Pancakes with Apple Sauce

Ingredients

• 4 medium Potatoes, peeled and grated
• 1 medium Onion, grated
• 2 tablespoons Flaxseed meal
• 6 tablespoons Water
• 1/4 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1/4 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Applesauce

Instructions

1. 1In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal with the 6 tablespoons of water. Stir them together and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. It will become thick, like an egg substitute.
2. 2In a large bowl, add the 4 medium potatoes that have been peeled and grated. Add the 1 medium onion, also grated. Add the thickened flaxseed mixture, the 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, the 1 teaspoon of salt, the 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and the 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg. Mix everything together until it is well combined.
3. 3Place a large skillet on the stovetop and add the 1/4 cup of vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4. 4Carefully drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil. Use the back of the spoon to gently flatten each portion into a pancake shape.
5. 5Cook the potato pancakes for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. They are ready when they turn a deep golden brown and feel crispy to the touch.
6. 6Remove the cooked potato pancakes from the skillet and place them on a plate. Serve the potato pancakes hot with the 1 cup of applesauce on the side.
