Instructions
To prepare the potato latkes
Slice the potatoes and yellow onion into wedges to fit into a food processor feeder tube, and process with the shredder blade. Using a kitchen towel, squeeze out excess liquid from the potatoes and onions.
Place the onion and potato mixture in a bowl and add ½ cup of the flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Add more of the flour if the batter is too wet and not sticking together.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat a thin layer of oil. Take a heaping tablespoon of batter and flatten it with your hands, patting it into a pancake, before gently placing it in the hot oil. Continue doing this for as many latkes that can fit in the pan without crowding. Fry until golden brown on both sides, turning once, about 8 minutes total.
Repeat with remaining potato mixture, adding more oil as necessary. Remove cooked potato pancakes to paper towels to drain.
To prepare the caramelized onion dip
Cut the onions in half, and slice them into thin half rounds.
Heat the vegan butter and oil in a large saute pan on medium heat. Add the onions, cayenne, salt and pepper and saute for 10 minutes.
Reduce the heat and cook for another 20 minutes or so. Stir occasionally, until the onions are brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Place the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayo in a food processor. Combine until smooth.
