Combine all ingredients except the olive oil in a food processor. Process the mixture for about 45 seconds, pausing a couple of times to scrape the sides, until the mixture forms a thick batter.

Pour some olive oil into the skillet and heat over over medium. Use a spoon to scoop up the batter, then pour it onto the hot skillet in the shape\size of a silver dollar pancakes. Use 1 - 2 tablespoons of batter per latke. Spread it out in to a thin circle after it hits the skillet. Fry the latkes for 2 - 3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown. If the latkes are browning faster than they're cooking, reduce skillet heat. Expect some variation in the shape of the latkes, they won't form a perfect circle. Serve immediately.
