Your Jr. Chef can make non-traditional latkes using Fuyu persimmons

Fruit in my latkes? Well, with an unexpected flavor profile, it works. Mix grated potatoes/firm Fuyus with potato starch (from grating), eggs, cumin, nutmeg, garlic, s&p, and (not in ingredient list) 2t cornstarch (to help keep mixture together better). Fry, drain on paper towels, serve, enjoy. Makes 10 latkes. Parental supervision.
