To make these celery root latkes a little easier, you can shred the potatoes, onions, and celery root in a food processor with the shredding disk. However, you'll need to use 5 eggs (instead of 4) because the machine grates more coarsely and the mixture will require more binding.

Cooks' note:

Latkes can be fried 1 hour ahead.
