Spaghetti Squash Latke With Feta, Sumac And Citrus Recipe

We had a blast at Monday's night's 5th Annual Latke Festival in NYC's Flatiron district. We liked it last year at BAM, too. Those were some great latkes. And since the holiday of crispy potatoes draws to a close tonight, we thought we'd share the recipe for one of our favorite pancakes at the party: Chef Liz Neumark of The Sylvia Center's seasonal spaghetti squash latke with creamy, tangy whipped feta and citrus.

Don't worry about the dehydrated olives if you can't find them (most likely) or don't feel like dehydrating olives (also likely). It'll be much better with them, but you can get by without 'em.
