    Potato Cheese Latkes with Cranberry Sour Cream | Recipe Challenge

    December 3, 2018 by athomewithrebecka Leave a Comment

    Cheese Latke Recipe
    Potato Cheese Latkes with Cranberry Sour Cream are the perfect Hanukkah appetizer for your holiday table this season.

    I love the traditional crisp texture of latkes, so when developing this recipe I knew they would pair beautifully with the unmistakable milky taste, and slight buttery characteristic of Mahón-Menorca Semi-Cured cheese. When paired with the creamy, sweet flavor of cranberry sour cream, my latke recipe is the perfect bite of sweet and savory. 

    This recipe is my first entry in the inaugural Mahón-Menorca Cheese Holiday Blogger Recipe Challenge  Appetizer Category.
