Did you think Eastern European recipes can't possibly be vegan? Think again. This recipe for vegan baked potato latkes is from Mark Reinfeld's The 30 Minute Vegan's Taste of Europe.

Reinfeld says, "No holiday meal would be complete without latkes, or potato pancakes. Of Eastern European origin and traditionally made with eggs, we use ground flax seeds to hold it all together. There are many variations possible [see below, including making them gluten-free by replacing the spelt flour with brown rice flour]. Serve with vegan sour cream or applesauce."
