Ingredients
3 peeled and chopped potatoes (about 0.6 kg / 1.3 lb total)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
70 g cornstarch
2 tablespoons oil for sautΓ©ing
200 g sliced mushrooms
200 g roughly chopped spinach
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
100 g vegan cheese (grated or finely chopped)
Oil for frying
1 tablespoon dried parsley for garnish
vegan sour cream or preferred sauce
Instructions
1-First, boil the potatoes with salt until they are tender, then drain and mash them thoroughly. Let them cool slightly before combining with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 70 g cornstarch to form a smooth dough.
2-Next, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet and sautΓ© 200 g sliced mushrooms until browned and any moisture has evaporated, then add 200 g roughly chopped spinach and cook until wilted.
3-Season the filling with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika, and optional 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes. Shape the potato dough into flat rounds, place a spoonful of the filling and 100 g vegan cheese in the center, seal the edges carefully, and flatten into pancakes about half an inch thick. Fry the pancakes in oil over medium heat for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown, then drain on paper towels and garnish with 1 tablespoon dried parsley. Serve hot with vegan sour cream or your preferred sauce, and remember that proper seasoning makes all the difference in bringing out the flavors.
Notes
π³ Avoid overcrowding the pan when frying to keep pancakes crispy.
π½ Add extra cornstarch if the potato mixture feels too wet to help it hold together.
π₯ Customize your filling with caramelized onions, bell peppers, or mashed beans for variety.
