1/2 pound (225g) carrots, shredded on the shredding disk of a
(2 cups shredded)
3/4 pound (340g) acorn squash, trimmed, peeled, and shredded on the shredding disk of a food processor (2 cups shredded)
3/4 pound (340g) sweet potato, peeled and shredded on the shredding disk of a food processor (2 cups shredded)
1 pound (450g) russet potatoes, peeled, trimmed, and shredded on the shredding disk of a food processor (3 cups shredded)
6 cups chopped onion (about 6 medium onions)
4 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon cumin
4 large eggs
1 cup matzo meal, plus more as needed (see note)
4 teaspoons (16g) kosher salt, plus more if needed
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more if needed
Canola or peanut oil, for frying
Unsweetened applesauce and sour cream, for serving

1
Working in roughly 2-cup batches, wrap carrots, squash, sweet potato, russet potato, and onion in cheesecloth that has been folded over twice. Tie corners around the handle of a wooden spoon and twist bundle until liquid flows out and vegetables are dry. Add squeezed vegetables to a large mixing bowl and toss to combine thoroughly.
2
Stir in ginger, paprika, coriander, and cumin. Mix in eggs and matzo meal. You should be able to form patties that just stick together in your hands; if the mixture is too wet, add more matzo meal, 1 tablespoon at a time, until patties can be properly formed. Stir in salt and pepper.
3
Heat 1/2 inch oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until a shred of potato immediately bubbles when dropped in. Form a small amount of latke mixture into a disk and fry on both sides until golden brown to test for seasoning. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
4
Form patties about 3 inches wide and 1 inch thick in the center and slide into pan (no more than 4 at a time). Fry until a golden-brown crust forms on bottom, then flip using a slotted spatula and fork and fry until golden brown on other side and cooked through, approximately 3 minutes per side. If a darker crust is desired, continue cooking on each side to desired doneness.
5
Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels and let cool for 2 minutes. Serve with applesauce and sour cream at the table.
