Vegan Flax Potato Pancakes
 
1/4 cup flax seeds
1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp water
1/4 cup soy milk or rice milk
1/4 tsp baking soda (optional)
2 Tbsp flour
2 grated potatos (about 2 cups)
1 Tbsp grated onion
salt and pepper
canola oil for frying
apple sauce and/or fake sour cream to put on top
 
Put the flax seeds, water, soy milk, and soda in a blender.  Keep
blending and scraping the sides down with a rubber scraper until
the seeds are all chopped up and it's nice and smooth.  This is
the equivalent of two eggs plus 1/4 of milk.  Another method, which
I haven't tried, is to put the seeds in the blender dry and make
flax seed meal that way, then add the wet ingredients and probably
blend some more.

Mix the flax seed concoction with all the other ingredients.
(except the oil and toppings, of course.)  Heat a frying pan with
plenty of oil so the pancakes don't stick.  Make sure it's all good
and hot before you put the batter in the pan.  Put the batter in
the pan and spread it so it's not too thick.  After cooked on one
side, flip them over.  When they're all cooked and not gooey anymore
(may have to re-cook the first side) serve them with the apple
sauce or fake sour cream.
