(Jewish) :-) Potato Latkes with Caramelised Pears, Goat Cheese, And Sherry Vinegar Drizzle

Place the shredded potatoes in a cheesecloth and wring out any excess moisture

Mix potatoes, eggs, flour, onion, and salt together in a bowl

Heat 1/2 cup of oil in a large pan over medium heat until the oil shimmers. Working in batches, drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, pressing each one down to form a pancake. Cook the latkes until browned and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes per side then transfer to paper towels to drain

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a fresh pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the pears in hot oil and sprinkle 2 tbsp of brown sugar over the pears. Cook pears until browned and the sugar is melted, 3 to 5 minutes per side

Place the latkes on a serving plate, then 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.
