I haven’t made fritters for quite a while, but these vegetable fritters with red lentils turned out so delicious and comforting.
By using red lentils you can add some extra protein to your fritters. If you’re looking for more vegan potato recipes. They’re also delicious with the sriracha mayonnaise !


Many potato fritters contain eggs and are, thus, not vegan. However, it’s super easy to omit the egg and make vegan fritters. They will still hold together very well. Some fritters are “accidently vegan”, meaning that the recipe doesn’t contain any animal products for unknown reasons. Good for us vegans!
