Wonderfully delicious Potato Pancakes vegan

This is a great recipe for potato pancakes, simple and very tasty. Sometimes potato pancakes 
can be greasy and heavy feeling, but not these, they have a wonderful texture and slight crunch,
without the greasy feeling in your mouth. I don't like the white starch potatoes, because the starch can take over the dish. I used yellow flesh potatoes, but also good ispurple flesh potatoes. My twist on the recipe is adding an apple along with a leek.This gives a sweet flavor from both the leek and apple, then the potato
balances it and brings it together. I also have given an option of adding an egg, but it's not necessary, you can leave it out whether you eat vegan or not! I want everyone to eat healthy so if you are not vegan you can still make the recipe and savor the delicious flavors:)

You can serve them savory or sweet. 
Topping is up to you!
I like strawberry jam, agave syrup, maple syrup,and even salsa.
Creme fraiche or a yogurt can give a cooling taste!

Wonderfully delicious Potato Pancakes

4 medium potatoes
1 apple
1/4 piece of leek  
8 leaves parsley
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
3 Tablespoon of butter
1 egg(optional)
sea salt to taste on top

Grate potatoes, apple, leek add sea salt and fresh lemon juice let sit for 5 minutes in a mixing bowl. Then with your hands strain mixture, squeeze out at much liquid out as you can. the mixture will be visibly drier. Then add the parsley roughly chopped . ( if adding a egg whip with fork and add to mixture).
In skillet on medium heat add the butter when melted, make golf size balls and flatten them between hands,  you can make whatever size you want, but make sure they are flat. Cook 3-4 minutes each side until golden brown. Makes 12

Delightful Pancake "Kake" or Pannkakor simple and yummy:)

This recipe comes from making pancakes for a very special friend, she loves pancakes,and she could eat them everyday if she could. When I made them for her, I decided why not layer them with filling and stack, this is how the recipe came about. These are gluten free but not vegan, they have eggs in them. I have not been able to make them thin enough without eggs. I will show you how I made it then give you the recipe:)

I used a 23 1/2 cm pan to make them you can make them what ever size you have.
Make 6 pancakes

When done I spread my desired topping for each layer.This time it was strawberry jam and strawberry yogurt(vegan) I like to put a little each layer, and I serve the filling on the side so you can put as much on as you like!
View from the top finished, I added yogurt to the top(my favorite Oatly strawberry)
Here is the way it looks cut
Now you can eat!!!!!! Smelled like strawberry cake:)
 Pancake "cake" Pannkakor

2 eggs
1 cup of "milk" ( I used oatly milk)
1 1/2 cup water
few Tablespoon of  butter
desired filling and topping

Mix altogether and let sit for 10 minutes. 
Place pan on stove top on medium heat and add Tablespoon of butter once melted
you can begin making them.
Cook each side 2-3 minutes until light brown.
When they are done you can add the filling, desired amount
keep layering and filling.
You can dress the top or leave plain
