Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 small onion, grated
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 2 ripe pears, sliced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ cup crumbled goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- Fresh chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by squeezing as much moisture from the grated potatoes and onions as you can. The drier the mixture, the crispier the latkes will be!
- In a large bowl, mix the grated potatoes and onions with the eggs, flour, salt, and pepper until everything is combined well.
- Heat about ¼ inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Test the oil with a small amount of the mixture; it should sizzle when it’s ready.
- Using a spoon, dollop the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening each latke slightly. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- In another pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced pears and brown sugar, cooking until the pears are caramelized, about 5 minutes.
- To serve, top each latke with a few slices of caramelized pears, crumbled goat cheese, and a drizzle of sherry vinegar. Add fresh chives on top for that extra flair!
And there you have it! A plate of pure happiness that’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Enjoy those crispy, cheesy bites with the perfect blend of sweet and savory. Happy cooking!
