Cook time:
Ingredients
- 1 large russet potato, peeled and grated (2 cups)
- ¼ teaspoon minced yellow onion
- ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon white spelt flour
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds mixed with 3 tablespoons water
- ¾ teaspoon sea salt
- A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon paprika (optional; try smoked)
Cashew Sage Cream Sauce
- 1 cup raw cashews (soaked for 30-60 minutes in hot water, then drained)
- 3 garlic cloves
- 15 fresh sage leaves or 2 Tbls. dried
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup water, or more if needed
Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Add water until the sauce reaches the consistency of a thick mayonnaise. It will make about 2 cups (add more cashews if sauce gets too thin, more water if too thick).
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. You can speed this process up by using the grater attachment on a food processor for the potatoes.
- Scoop about ¼ cup of the mixture for each latke onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten to about ¼ inch thick.
- Bake for 8 minutes, then flip the pancakes and bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes, before serving.
