Sweet Potato Latkes Appetizers

My family and I haven't really been all together for dinner in a pretty long time, with my brother on a two week long business trip and then my mom away for a week at a yoga retreat, a family dinner was long over due. So to make things a little special, I made a little appetizer to enjoy during the news.

Sweet Potato Latkes Appetizers

1 large sweet potato
1/2 onion
1 egg
1/3 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper - to taste
Canola Oil
1 ounce chevre goat cheese
1 tablespoon cream cheese
Dill

Using a box grater, grate the sweet potato and onion into a small bowl. Mix in the egg, flour, nutmeg and salt and pepper. Heat a pan filled an inch high with oil and place small spoonfuls of the sweet potato mixture and cook for about 4 minutes on each side till lightly browned. Let the pancakes drain and cool on a plate with paper towel to soak up the excess oil. When ready to plate, mix together the goat cheese and cream cheese and pipe a small dollop of cheese mixture on each pancake and top with dill.

After a short morning shift at work, my dad and I drove to the new whole foods that I hadn't gone to yet and looked around for some interesting products. The real point of the trip was to let me practice my driving, but the whole foods was huge and I could definitely see myself spending hours scouring the aisle for unique finds. Hopefully sometime soon I will have the time to spend there, so till next time,
