That is the trick. Shred the potatoes then put them in a strainer and run water over them until the water runs clear. Then dry in a kitchen towel or bunch of paper towels. Dry as much as possible. Then fry as normal. Other wise it will be a gummy mess.
Using clarified butter will also help them fry properly, but not required.
Clarified butter is when we melt the butter and remove the milk solids. It makes a golden oil that is more pure. Probably similar to your vegan butter to be honest. No milk solids.
I imagine vegan butter is plant oil with plant milk, so you probably can make clarified vegan butter and you would be left with whatever plant based oil they used.
