- Heat the oven to 350°F.
- Peel butternut squash, potato, and onion; grate finely, using a box grater. Place grated vegetables in a large bowl with flour, matzo meal, salt, pepper, and eggs and mix well without kneading.
- Heat schmaltz in frying pan until shimmering. Form 2-inch patties with the mixture and fry in oil until golden on first side. If patties are too dry to hold shape, add 1 more egg. Turn to second side and fry until golden.
- Season after frying with salt and place on a sheet pan. Repeat until all patties are made.
- Bake at 350°F for 12 minutes.
- Add ½ ounce gorgonzola dolce to top each latke, then melt for 2 minutes in the oven. Serve immediately drizzled with maple syrup.
