ingredients

5 russet potatoes, peeled and grated
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon pepper
1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons olive oil
4 ounces soft fresh goat cheese, crumbled
4 teaspoons chives, finely chopped
¹⁄₄ cup parmesan cheese (optional)

directions

Place the grated potatoes in a dry kitchen towel to remove as much moisture as possible.
Transfer potatoes to large bowl and toss in salt and pepper. If desired, add parmesan cheese.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Mound 1/3 cup of potatoes in skillet and flatten to form about a 3 inch round. Repeat 3 times, forming 4 pancakes.
Top each cake with 1/4 of goat cheese and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of chives.
Cover each with another 1/3 cup potatoes; press to adhere, enclosing cheese completely and flattening slightly.
Cook until bottoms are golden, about 6 minutes. Add 1/2 tablespoon oil to skillet. Turn pancakes over; cook until golden, about 6 minutes.
