How do YOU latke?

I made latkes tonight, and I must say, I think they might be better than the ones my mom makes!! Hers is the usual onion-potato mix.

I took one small zucchini, around 6 baby carrots, 3/4 of an onion, one small yellow potato, one small red potato, and a glove of garlic, and grated them up. One trick was I used two different sized graters, so I got more varied texture. Once all the veggies were grated, I let them sit for a few minutes so more of the moisture would be released, and then picked up handfuls of the mix and squeezed them over my sink. I cracked one egg into the bowl, added salt, white and black pepper, chipotle powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, and some panko, and then mushed it all together with my hands. I heated some canola oil, made little patties, and tossed 'em in.

They were great!!

So, what do you do?

And, what do you eat them with? I used applesauce.
