Low Protein Latkes

Ingredients
1 medium russet potato, finely chopped
¼  medium onion, finely chopped
½ medium carrot, peeled and grated (or 2 baby carrots, grated)
¼ cup WelPlan Baking Mix
1 tsp baking powder
Salt and pepper and any other desired spices to taste
About 1-1 ½ cups vegetable oil

Preparation

• Add chopped potato, onion and carrot to a blender and blend until it forms a puree consistency.
• Add WelPlan Baking Mix, baking powder, salt, pepper and any other desired spices to the blender and mix.
• Heat oil in a frying pan on medium to medium-high heat. Oil level should be about ¼ inch in the pan.
• Carefully add mixture to the oil, about 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) to make each latke.
• Cook until edges are brown (3-5 minutes) then flip with a spatula. Cook the opposite side for the same length of time.
• Remove latkes with a spatula and drain them on some paper towels to remove excess oil.
