Gefilte Not Fish - Vegan
If you’re vegan and want to experience gefilte fish this is the closest thing to it. We used ground nori seaweed sheets to impart a bit of fishy flavor and baked instead of boiled to help keep the classic shape. We recommend red potatoes, which held together better than Russet.
