By ldelmas

Serves 3-4

Ingredients

• Ingredients:
• 2 oz cranberry goat cheese
• 1.5 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and coarsely grated
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 3 Tbsp flour
• 1-1/2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 1-1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1-1/2 Tbsp shallot, minced
• Canola oil, for frying

Preparation

Step 1

Preparation:

Place the goat cheese in the freezer for 1 hour.


In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, eggs, flour, thyme, salt, pepper, and shallot.


Heat 1/4" oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, drop 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening it to about 1/4"–1/2" thick. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Keep the cooked latkes warm in the oven on a baking rack.


Remove the goat cheese from the freezer and crumble it into pieces.


Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the latkes and serve.
