I'm of Slovak/Polish descent and I've never heard of a good Latke having cauliflowers and spinach. Also, we use flour, grated potatoes and onions in a great Latke. Also, never, never use olive oil for frying. You need hot oil to fry these (and anything else that is fried).

Olive oil burns at a very low temperature. You should only use Peanut Oil for deep frying or any other kind of frying. It has the highest burn temp of all the oils.
