And hey, they have a fun German name! Kartoffelkuchen. That’s “potato cake.” Just look at those gorgeous kartoffels!

Make these vegan potato pancakes because:

  • Potatoes are awesome
  • You’ll win the hearts of anyone you’re generous enough to share with
  • They’re a great source of protein, fiber and potassium (especially with the skins on!)
  • You can top them any way you want
  • The recipe makes plenty, and they store well
  • They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner
  • Vegans and non-vegans love ’em

I topped this round with vegan sour cream, but I’ve also enjoyed them with ketchup, mustard, Sriracha, even hot pepper jelly. And they’re famously good with applesauce, but I haven’t tried that yet.

I LOVE potatoes! They’re a great source of fiber, potassium, vitamins, nutrients AND deliciousness. And talk about versatile! So many cuisines, so many styles of cooking…whatever you’re into, potatoes work with it.
