1 cup grated peeled parsnip
2/3 cup flour
½ teaspoon ground cumin

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place first 3 ingredients on paper towels, squeeze until barely moist. Combine flour, cumin, ¼ teaspoon salt, eggs, and onion in a bowl; beat with a mixer until blended. Add potato mixture and mix at low speed until combined. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Heap 3 tablespoons potato mixture into pan to form 6 patties; flatten slightly. Reduce heat to medium, cook 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Place on a baking sheet keeping warm in the oven. Repeat with remaining oil and potato mixture to yield 18 latkes.
