Left Over Latke (Mashed Potato Pancakes)

I am sure my room mates are sick of potatoes by now,  but it is Hanukkah, and my tribal friends would feel left out if I did not prepare a post to match their traditions.  (But rather nontraditional, as is the RogueChef tradition)

From Wikipedia:

Latkes or latkas (לאַטקע) are potato pancakes that Ashkenazi Jews have prepared as part of the Hanukkah festival, since the mid-1800s, based on an older variant of the dish that goes back to at least the Middle Ages.

Latkes need not necessarily be made from potatoes. Prior to the introduction of the potato to the Old World, latkes were, and in some places still are, made from a variety of other vegetables, cheeses, legumes, or starches, depending on the available local ingredients and foods of the various places where Jews lived. Numerous modern recipes call for the addition of ingredients such as onions and carrots.
