2 Cups of Grated Potatoes
1/2 Cup Krrrristkraut Sauerkraut, drained
2 Tablespoons minced red onion
2 teaspoon chives and extra for garnish
1 Tablespoons ground flaxseeds (powder)
3 Tablespoons cold water
Sea Salt
Freshly ground pepper
Canola Oil
2 teaspoons minced red pepper, for garnish (optional)
In a large bowl combine potatoes, sauerkraut, red onion and chives and mix well. In a blender add ground flax and water and blend until mixture becomes thick and frothy, about one minute. Add the flax mixture to the potato and sauerkraut and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
In a nonstick skillet add a small amount of canola oil and bring to medium heat. Add teaspoonfuls of the mixture to the pan and flatten out. Fry on each side until golden brown before turning, about 2 minutes. After mixture is cooked place latke's on a papertowel lined plate to remove excess oil.
Garnish with vegan sour cream, chives and red pepper!
