Potato Latkes with Caramelized Pears, Goat Cheese, and Sherry Vinegar Drizzle Recipe

Potato Latkes with Caramelized Pears, Goat Cheese, and Sherry Vinegar Drizzle Recipe

  • 2 cups peeled and shredded potatoes
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon grated onion
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cup oil for frying
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 pears, cored and cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, divided
  • 8 ounces goat cheese, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
  • 1/4 cup sherry vinegar
  1. Place shredded potatoes in cheesecloth and wring out any excess moisture.
  2. Mix potatoes, eggs, flour, onion, and salt together in a bowl.
  3. Heat 1/2 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until oil shimmers. Working in batches, drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, pressing each down to form a pancake. Cook latkes until browned and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes per side; transfer to paper towels to drain.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pears in hot oil and sprinkle 2 tablespoons brown sugar over pears. Cook pears until browned and sugar is melted, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  5. Place latkes on a serving platter. Top each latke with 1 round of goat cheese and a pear. Sprinkle brown sugar on the pears and drizzle sherry vinegar over the top.
