Any idea how to make a McDougall friendly potato latke?

There are probably a couple recipes here:

They won't be strictly McDougall-friendly, but oil can usually be omitted and "frying" can be done in a dry pan, or latkes can be baked in the oven until done.

This is at CAT-TEA Corner, which is at the previously mentioned site (scroll down past the heart healthy kosher recipes and you will see it. (They don't want entire recipes copied to other sites without permission.)

Looks like a lot of great stuff there....

Recipe looks great, but what are "waxy" potatoes?

Waxy potatoes

You have starchy potatoes, such as russets, and more waxy varieties such as red potatoes. The red potatoes have less starch in them and are better for boiling and potato salad, for example.
