Ingredients
- 2 cups peeled and shredded potatoes
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon grated onion
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ cup oil for frying
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 pears, cored and cut into 1/2-inch slices
- ¼ cup brown sugar, divided
- 8 ounces goat cheese, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
- ¼ cup sherry vinegar
Instructions
- Place shredded potatoes in cheesecloth and wring out any excess moisture.
- Mix potatoes, eggs, flour, onion, and salt together in a bowl.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Reviews
This is a good base recipe. I made two changes. I used mashed potatoes instead of shredded to make the latke. I also left off the sherry vinegar. The potato really balances the sweetness of the pears and goat cheese. This dish was a big hit with my husband, who added bacon. I will definitely make this again.
