Steps:
- In a food processor, finely grate potatoes (don't liquefy, leave some texture). Transfer to a colander to eliminate excess liquid. Transfer to a large bowl. Finely grate onions, and mix 1 1/2 cups into potatoes.
- Add eggs, baking powder, 3/4 cup corn oil, flour, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Fold in matzo meal, blending well.
- Heat remaining 1/2 cup corn oil in a deep skillet over low heat. With a large kitchen spoon, drop batter into pan, creating pancakes about 3 1/2 inches in diameter; be careful not to crowd them. Fry until underside is a deep golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and fry for 1 to 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter. Drain latkes on a paper towel-lined baking sheet.

Steps:
- Rehydrate potatoes by soaking them in a bowl of cold water to soften then drain in a colander. Wrap potatoes in paper towels and squeeze out excess moisture. Add the carrots, zucchini, onion and matzoh meal to the potatoes.

- In small skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium high heat. Place rounded teaspoons of potato mixture into pan and fry on both sides until golden brown.
- Serve with prepared applesauce for dipping.
APPLE-POTATO LATKES
A nontraditional approach to a potato latke. The shredding is done using a spiralizer, and the apple and maple syrup give you just enough sweetness to make these different. Good topped with sour cream or applesauce.

Tips:
- For the best results, use a combination of waxy and starchy potatoes. Waxy potatoes, like Yukon Golds, will hold their shape better during frying, while starchy potatoes, like Russets, will add a fluffy texture.
- Be sure to grate the potatoes finely. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from falling apart.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the latkes. This will cause them to steam instead of fry and they won't be as crispy.
- Serve the latkes hot with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include applesauce, sour cream, and smoked salmon.
Conclusion:
Calico potato latkes with applesauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior, these latkes are sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
