Latkes (potato pancakes)

Tea Cozy
List of Ingredients
12 medium potatoes unpeeled
1 1/2 medium onions
1 package silken tofu, firm***see note below
1 1/2 tsps salt
2 tsps baking powder
oilRecipe
Heat oil in a large skillet to fry the latkes.
Place potatoes in a large pot of boiling water and cook until almost done
(approximately 45 minutes). Drain and place in a colander to cool. Use
your food processor shredding disc to shred the potatoes. They will look a
bit like mashed potatoes when you're done, but you'll still have some
chunks. Discard any large pieces of peel. Put in a large bowl. Depending
upon the bowl size of your processor, you may need to do this step several
times.
Remove the shred disc and mince the onions. Add to the potatoes. Next add
the tofu, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.
Use a large spoon and spatula to add the latke to the oil. Brown on one
side, flip over, brown the other side then remove to a plate covered with
paper towels to drain. Enjoy with applesauce or vegan Tofutti sour cream.
***Instead of tofu I frequently use a flour for binder such as soy flour or
fava bean flour. It works nicely.***
