Potato Latkes Served with Caramelized Pears, Creamy Goat Cheese, and Sherry Vinegar

Ingredients 0/11

Step 1

Squeez the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to get rid of as much moisture as you can. In a big bowl, mix the potatoes with the eggs, flour, chopped onion, and a good pinch of salt until everything is well combined. Heat about half a cup of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it’s shimmering. Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the pan, then gently press each one down to form little pancakes. Cook them for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and crispy, then transfer them to paper towels to drain off any extra oil.

Step 2

In a separate pan, warm a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced pears and sprinkle them with brown sugar. Let them cook until they’re nicely browned and the sugar has melted, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Step 3

When everything is ready, arrange the latkes on a serving plate. Top each one with a round of creamy goat cheese and a caramelized pear slice. Finish by sprinkling a little more brown sugar over the pears and drizzling some sherry vinegar over the whole dish for a touch of tanginess. Enjoy!
