beet and carrot latkes

I received a small bunch of beets in my CSA on June 10th. I hadn't paid attention to the farm's website update, so I didn't realize what type of beets they were until I sliced them open. I was pleasantly surprised!

And the final product!

This recipe is definitely a keeper for me. I will have to give it a try with different types of beets.
