Tri-Color Potato Latkes

Another amazing recipe...simplified. Doubled it for my 5 and they were scarfed. I do all the prep with the food processor and it saves me loads of effort. Single recipe is supposed to serve 4-6 people. Ha. ;) The last time I made these it was officially requested that I triple the recipe from now on.

1 zucchini
1 yellow squash--- grate both; lay on a cookie sheet, sprinkle salt and let sit 15 min. Then squeeze by handfuls to get out water and put veggies in a bowl.
1 baking potato
1/2 sweet potato-- grate both, then squeeze like above but without salt
Add in to bowl (don't let sit like the squash)

1 onion grated
2 tbsp olive oil---sauté onion in oil for about 3 min and add to bowl

Add: 1 egg
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
3 tbsp flour
2 tbsp matzo or breadcrumbs,
Dash cayenne,
1 tsp garlic powder. Mix well.

Heat a large skillet to med hi. Add 2-3 tbsp oil, replacing as needed between batches. Add a pinch of salt to the oil every other batch. Put in by large 2- 2 1/2"; spoonful globs and gently press to make patties. Don't worry if doesn't look like a patty. Fry 1- 1 1/2 min each side. Drain on an upside down rack with paper towels under it. Flip to get oil off. Serve topped with a small dollop of sour cream, then top with a square of thin smoked salmon, and a tiny dollop of caviar.
