Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Serves: 5 servings
Ingredients:
- 500g potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup cooking oil
- 30g Italian parsley, chopped
- 50g fried shallots
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper powder
- 1/4 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar (adjust to taste)
Vegan 'Egg' Coating:
- 60g chickpea flour
- 30g rice flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon white pepper powder
- 125ml water
Method
- Prepare the potatoes: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet over medium heat. Fry the diced potatoes until slightly tender. Drain and transfer to a food processor.
- Mash the potatoes: Blend the fried potatoes in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
- Mix the ingredients: Add chopped Italian parsley, fried shallots, white pepper powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, salt, and sugar to the mashed potatoes. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Shape the potato cakes: Scoop a handful of the potato mixture and roll it into balls. Flatten the balls slightly to form patties.
- Prepare the vegan 'egg' coating: In a separate bowl, mix chickpea flour, rice flour, cornstarch, nutritional yeast, and white pepper powder. Gradually add water while whisking until a smooth, slightly thick batter forms.
- Coat the potato cakes: Heat oil in a frying pan over high heat. Dip each potato cake into the vegan 'egg' coating, ensuring it is evenly coated.
- Fry the potato cakes: Carefully place the coated potato cakes into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes on each side.
- Serve: Remove the fried potato cakes from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot as a delicious appetiser or side dish.
