Imagine that there some people who are not fans of potatoes! There are also people who stay away from all carbs. Shredded Vegetable Latkes provide the crunch and satisfaction of a latke without the potatoes! Shredded veggies mixed with fresh dill and horseradish make a really wonderful alternative or addition to traditional potato latkes. I use white horseradish to give a spicy touch to the latke; but you can use red horseradish as well. The latke will be sweeter and the vegetables will turn pinkish.
I use a food processor to chop and shred the vegetables; but you can use a hand held shredder if you prefer. These Shredded Vegetable Latkes are vegetarian. Embellish them with smoked salmon, caviar or even a mini slice of pastrami or corned beef and they leave the vegetarian category. I like to have a platter of plain ones separated from the ones with fish or meatl. That way everyone is happy.
