Directions
Makes 6 3-4" latkes

Combine shredded potato, shredded beet, and shredded parsnip with egg and diced onion. Add about 1/4 cup garbanzo bean flour, enough to form a binder. Salt and pepper to taste.

Over medium heat, add enough olive oil to cover a 12" skillet. When oil is hot, use a large spoon to drop about 1/3 cup of the shredded vegetable mixture into the skillet and flatten with back of spoon. Do not crowd latkes in pan. Fry latkes for about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove, and repeat with remaining mixture.

Top latkes with applesauce and/or sour cream or Greek-style yogurt, as desired. Kids love the applesauce as an easy side if you're cooking for a family and they don't love the latkes themselves.
