This is a Vegan Potato Pancake. It is very practical, low cost dish you can enjoy any time of the day, including breakfast and tea time. It comes out like a savory pancake.
I have prepared exact measurements about the amount of potatoes and flour in the recipe to make it easier to make sure you obtain the right texture. Use your hands or a rolling pin to make a flat palm sized shape. If the dough is sticking sprinkle with some corn flour. Corn flour will ensure a little twist as it is crunchier compared to flour.
Use a non-stick skillet for frying and add only few drops of oil to the skillet for each gozleme. I chose to use olive oil. Flip sides and fry each side about 2 minutes, until golden, as seen in the picture above.
You can choose to add chopped parsley and dill for additional flavor. Goes well with a cup of tea, some cheese and even olives.
Hope you will try and enjoy, do not forget to comment.
