Pumpkin Latkes

Shalom and Happy Hanukka! This is a super quick recipe, most of which I stole from the Food Network. Instead of five potatoes, I used four and swapped in about one potato's worth of grated, roasted pumpkin. Use only partially cooked pumpkin (which I happened to have since last time I roasted one, I pulled it out too early). I also used flour instead of matzo meal, since it isn't Passover (and also since I'm a Gentile. According to my mother-in-law, matzo meal is the preferred ingredient). The pumpkin wasn't too strong, but it made the pancakes a little less starchy and gave them a greater range of nutrients. L'chaim!
