Cheese Latkes
Ingredients
- 1 lb farmers cheese
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or 1 tbsp vanilla sugar
- 3 tbsp sour cream
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Blend using a hand blender or mix very well by hand.

Notes
Don’t have sour cream? You can omit the sour cream and milk and replace it with a rich yogurt such as J & J Deluxe. Just add an additional egg.

Yum! This looks delicious, and easy too! How many does this serve?
It makes around 20-25.
Would love to make these. Do they freeze Well?
I never tired freezing them. You can make it the day before and rewarm it.
Can I sub cottage cheese or ricotta for the farmers cheese?
Again I never tried, but it should work. Keep me posted if you try it.
I k ow this is an old post but I use cottage cheese when I don’t have farmer and just add a little extra flour to keep it from being too runny. Yum!
If replacing with yogurt should use plain or vanilla?
I always use strawberry delux, but vanilla should work well.
Best recipe!! Been making these for 15+ years!! You can freeze them and then reheat in the oven on a cookie sheet (although I rarely have any left to freeze!). Serve topped with sour cream and raspberry preserves. Yum!!
any ideas how to make this healthier and lower in calories?
These are delicious! I make them all the time. Recipe is originated from one of the popular cookbooks.
