Celery Root and Potato Patty

These vegan patties were inspired by our friend and neighbor, Brian, who claims that celery root burgers are a popular food item in his home country of Denmark.  Brian sent us his notes for making patties, which we have adapted into this recipe.

We highly recommend using a food processor with a grater disk to prep the potatoes, carrot, and celery root.

Ingredients

• 1 pound white potatoes, peeled and grated
• 3/4 pound celery root, grated
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• 3 servings egg replacer (such as Ener-G)
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• Olive oil cooking spray

Preparation

1. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, celery root, carrot, egg replacer, and nutritional yeast. Add the salt and black pepper.
2. Liberally coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
3. Using clean hands, form palm-sized patties of the mixture, about 1/2-inch thick.  Squeeze slightly to remove excess water from each patty.  Place formed patties on the baking sheet, then give the top of each a light coating of cooking spray.  This recipe makes about 6-8 patties.
4. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.  With a thin spatula, carefully flip each patty, then bake for an additional 20 minutes.
5. Enjoy as a veggie burger or by themselves!
