Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Preheat oven to 120°C.
Grate the potatoes coarsely and transfer to a large colander set over a bowl. Grate the onion and transfer to the colander. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Press the mixture firmly with your hands to extract as much liquid as possible (if the mixture is very wet, you can pat it dry with paper towels). Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the carrots, parsley, cinnamon, coriander, and cumin. Add the flour and egg and mix thoroughly.

Scoop 1/4 cup of the mixture into pancakes about 5 cm wide. Place them on a baking sheet lined with paper towels.
Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fry the latkes, a few at a time, until golden brown and crisp, 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake in the oven while you fry the next batch. Serve the latkes with applesauce, horseradish, and/or sour cream.
