I just happened to have a butternut squash hanging out in my kitchen. And feeling nostalgic for some latkes I tried a few years back with potato, went full throttle with a butternut squash edition.
They work out even better than I expected. I added a few spices to give them some oomph and finished with a dab of sour cream. But truth be told, I actually prefer them without. You can have them either way you prefer.

Great choices for the flavor profile. I love the idea of squash Latkes.
Those look scrumptious! I love latkes and those are so perfectly golden. Thank you for sharing!
Every year my son-in-law made potato latkes for Christmas Eve so we’ve already started discussing the menu without him, which makes us immeasurably sad. Perhaps I’ll propose your butternut squash version. They are so pretty and bright, they might help cheer us up.
I could only aspire that mine would measure up to his. I am so very sorry for your loss. It will be unbearable for your family. My thoughts will be with you and yours.
