Ingredients

  • 1½ cups cashews
  • Boiling water
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • ¾ water
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Vegan Latkes

  • 3 potatoes peeled
  • 1 carrot peeled
  • 1 zucchini unpeeled
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • ½  teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Vegan Sour Cream

  • In a medium bowl cover cashews with boiling water and let soak for 1 hour. Strain cashews, place in blender with evoo, lemon juice, vinegar, water and salt.  Blend until smooth. Let it sit in fridge for at least 1 hour. 

Vegan Latkes

  • With a box grater or food processor, grate potatoes, carrot and zucchini into a towel.  Squeeze out all liquid and place dried grated vegetables into a bowl.  
  • Add flour, corn starch, salt and pepper, mix well with hands.  
  • In a large frying pan heat oil over medium-low heat. Drop several spoonfuls of the mixture into hot oil without overcrowding the pan. Using the back of a spoon, pat down each latke to flatten it. Putting them too close together will make them soggy and difficult to flip. 
  • Fry 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden and crisp around the edges; repeat procedure until finished with all the batter.
  • Serve with vegan sour cream.
