Oh my goodness these are awesome. Latke is a fried vegetable cake that is super crispy and has great flavor. Salting and draining the grated vegetables first helps you get that crunch. This version has sweet potato, carrots, onion, zucchini, and potato combined to make you a tasty, crunchy pancake.
