Cheesy Jalapeno Latkes With Avocado

Why not add some southwestern flare to your holiday favorite? Opt for a block of cheese over the pre-shredded variety; when grated by hand, it will brown nicely in the pan and make for extra crispy latkes. Also: to ensure it stays bright green, slice your avocado after the pancakes are made and drizzle it with a bit of lemon.

Sweet potato latkes are pretty traditional, but this twist offers an unusual but tasty balance of sweet, salty, and acidic flavors. Let the Brie sit out of the refrigerator while you make the latkes so it's flavorful and runny.
