These potato pancakes have a touch of sweetness thanks to carrots. Parsnips would also work well. The starchier the potato, the crispier the latke. High-starch russets make the best potato pancakes. To coarsely grate the vegetables, use the large holes of a box grater or the shredding disk of a food processor. Loosely pack the vegetables in the 1/4-cup measure for the best results. Serve with an optional dip of Greek yogurt, lemon juice and lemon zest. These make a great appetizer but also do well as the starch for a larger meal.
