Ingredients

  • 3 Russet Potatoes
  • 1 Egg Replacer
  • 1/3 Cup Almond Flour
  • ¼ Tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 Tsp Sea Salt
  • ¼ Tsp Black Pepper
  • ¼ Tsp Celery Seed
  • ¼ Tsp Corn Starch
  • ½ Onion
  • 2 Cups vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Grate the Onions on a box grater.
  • Shred the potatoes in your food processor with the shredding attachment.
  • Place the potatoes in a bowl of ice water and allow them to soak for ten minutes.
  • Remove the potatoes and wring dry in a clean towel.
  • Combine all the ingredients together and form the pancakes.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large cast iron skillet (or comparable pan) on medium high heat.
  • When the oil is hot, test it with a small piece of potato. If it sizzles, the oil is hot enough, carefully add the pancakes one at a time to the pan.
  • Fry the pancakes for two minutes per side.
  • Set the pancakes aside on a paper towel lined plate.

TO OVEN FRY THE PANCAKES

  • preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Put the pancakes on the baking sheet and bake for approximately 12 minutes per side, or until they're crispy and golden on the outside.
