Latkes are eaten at Chanukah to remind us of the miracle- that the oil lasted for 8 days and nights. To remind us of the oil, Latkes are deep-fried and although they are now made of potato and onion they were actually originally made of cheese! To remember this history, these Three Cheese Stuffed Latkes have a molten cheese center that will bring a new flair to your holiday table.

Author's Notes

If you don’t have a food processor feel free to use a box grater to shred the potatoes and onion. For long-term storage, once the latkes are frozen they can be transferred to an airtight container and stored for up to 1 month.
Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
In a medium bowl combine Goat Cheese (1/2 cup), Philadelphia Original Soft Cheese (1/2 cup), and Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (1/2 cup) until thick paste forms. Season with 2 tsp zest of the Lemon (1) and Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1 tsp). Cover and chill.
step 2
Peel and halve all of the Russet Potatoes (3). Using a food processor fitted with a shredder blade shred the potatoes.
step 3
Once shredded remove potatoes from the processor and into a strainer. Press down to release and drain water.
step 4
While the potatoes continue to drain, prepare the onions. Quarter the Onion (1) then use the food processor to shred onions.
step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded onions and potatoes. Once combined stir in Salt (to taste), Ground Black Pepper (to taste), All-Purpose Flour (1/2 cup), Baking Powder (1 tsp), and Eggs (2).
step 6
Make patties using your hands. Try and keep the thickness consistent so they cook evenly. Place 1 Tbsp of cheese in the middle and pinch the mixture around it (add more batter if needed). Put the formed patties on a lined baking sheet and chill them in the freezer for 30 minutes or until you’re ready to eat!
step 7
Fill a deep frying pan with 2 inches of Vegetable Oil (as needed). Heat oil until shimmering. Once the oil is ready, remove the latkes from the freezer. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side.
step 8
Place them on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot with Apple Sauce (to taste) and Sour Cream (to taste).
