This recipe is a vegan take on a traditional Swedish recipe for what we call raggmunk. The word cracks me up every time! Raggmunkar are really simple and delicious potato pancakes. Perfect for lunch or dinner as well as for packed lunch as you can fill them and roll up before packing into your container. To top them I use traditional lingon berry jam which is sweet and tart all at once. I also fry up some smoked salty tofu which goes in the place of fried bacon. The flavours all combined are completely reminiscent of my childhood and I hope you will try and enjoy this recipe!

Vegan Potato Pancake | Vegansk Raggmunk
Serves 2, makes 5-6 pancakes.
INGREDIENTS:
For the pancakes:
400 g potatoes, finely grated
150 ml oat milk
60 g (1 dl) wheat flour or g-f white flour
0,5 tsp baking powder
0,5 tsp salt
Oil for frying
To serve:
1 block smoked tofu
125 g lingonberries and 25 g (0,25 dl) sugar or lingonberry jam
METHOD:
If using fresh lingon berries start by mixing the berries, I used thawed from frozen, with the sugar well. Let sit for about 40 minutes, stir once in a while.
Cut the smoked tofu into bite sized pieces in any shape you like. Fry the tofu pieces in a little oil until golden on all sides. Set aside while you prepare the pancakes, I left mine in a low heat oven to keep warm. No need to clean the pan as it will be reused.
Grate the potatoes on the fine side and place in a bowl, including the liquid that was released when grating. Pour in the milk and add the flour and remaining ingredients. Whisk well to combine.
Preheat the same skillet or non-stick pan to medium high heat and add a little oil for each pancake. Ladle 0,5 cup (roughly 1,25 dl) mixture on to the pan and spread it out using the bottom of your measurement, try to make it as round as possible. Don’t worry so much about the shape though – it’s the taste that counts!
Fry each pancake for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden, check by lifting one side of the pancake carefully.
Serve with the lingonberries or lingberry jam and the smoked tofu.

yum! I love how versatile these are… I topped one with fried mushrooms, smoked tofu and a dollop of vegan sour cream and the other one with applesauce (which is a traditional way to serve German latkes-style potato cakes). Served with a green salad with lots of dill, just perfect! 🙂
Hi Aline,
I’m so glad you made these and enjoyed them! How lovely that you got creative with the toppings as well. I totally agree that they’re a great vehicle for many different toppings. 🙂
I must try the apple sauce next time, sounds delish! x
Instead of lingonberry which is not popular in Poland where I live, I’ve made a quick jam from frozen red currant and chia seeds (no sugar added). It was a suprising but perfect combination with the potato pancakes. Thanks for the inspiration!
