Broccoli Latkes bratkes

You can use the whole broccoli or even just the stalks for these healthier, loaded with vitamins latkes.  I love finding ways to get my kids to eat veggies, it doesn't even matter if I have to fry them, I use healthy extra virgin olive oil and I get my whole family to eat lots of broccoli.
