Perfect Gluten-free Potato Pancakes (vegan option)
These Gluten-free Potato Pancakes taste great and are the perfect gluten-free breakfast, snack, or side dish.
Ingredients
- 6-7 potato
- 1/2 yellow onion (chopped)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 3-4 portobello mushrooms chopped, baby
- 4 egg or egg substitute as desired
- 1/4-1/2 cup milk or dairy-free milk, whole
- salt (to taste)
- black pepper to taste
- butter (for the pan)
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in a saucepan until fork tender with the skin on.
- While potatoes are boiling sauté the onion, mushroom and garlic in a cast iron skillet with bacon fat or butter. (These 2 things can be done the night before to make it quicker in the morning.)
- Soak your potatoes in cold water to cool them down, otherwise when you add the eggs you'll end up with scrambled eggs. (If you've made them the night before, skip this step.) Peel the skins off.
- Place all the ingredients in a blender or a food processor. Add 1/4 cup of milk first. The consistency you are looking for is a very thin mashed potatoes, so add more milk if needed until you reach the desired consistency.
- Over medium heat, add your potato mixture to your greased pan with a measuring cup, the goal being a 3 inch diameter pancake. Don't make them too big or they won't hold together. Flip when they are browned. Continue to grease the pan a bit more between batches to prevent sticking.
- Serve with our ranch dip recipe, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and a side of bacon or sausage. Enjoy!
Notes
- Vegan Option: To make these vegan, you can try using this Powdered Egg Replacer, using 1/2 a heaping Tablespoon of the powder with 2 Tablespoons of water for each egg.
- Homemade Dairy-free Milk Options: Here are great homemade recipes for coconut milk and almond milk.
- Butter Alternatives: Bacon fat and coconut oil would work well instead of butter for the pan.
