Peel the potatoes and carrots. Grate the potatoes, carrots, zucchini, and onion using the large holes of a box grater or a food processor with a shredding blade.
Place the shredded vegetables in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Wring out as much liquid as possible to ensure the latkes stay crispy.
Transfer the drained vegetables to a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs, flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be about 1/4 inch deep to ensure even frying.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture and form it into a patty. Carefully place it in the hot oil. Repeat, cooking 3 to 4 latkes at a time, without overcrowding the skillet.
Cook the latkes for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spatula to flip them and ensure even browning.
Transfer the cooked latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the latkes warm with sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite dipping sauce for a delightful appetizer or side dish.
