Hannukah corn latkes

Looking for a delicious alternative to potato latkes for Hannukah this year?  What about corn latkes?  I made these for a hannukah party last year and they were a big hit!  They came out so well and got rave reviews.  Call me crazy, but I’ve never been a huge fan of potato latkes so that’s where corn latkes come in- and they’re crazy easy to make!  No shredding potatoes!  Just mix the ingredients, fry, and voila!corn latkes hannukah
