Ingredients:

Potato and Parsnip Cakes with Red Onion Jam and Goat Cheese Cream

I just wanted some sort of platform for eating a lot of goat cheese. I thought potato cakes/latkes, with some red onion jam to cut the thickness of it all. These turned out really, really delicious. My potatoes turned out crisp and wonderful!

For the red onion jam:
2 bay leaves
dried (or fresh) thyme
2 medium red onions
red wine vinegar
sugar
red wine (not pictured)

For the potato cakes:
1 large russet potato
1 large or 2 medium parsnips
1 lemon
2 eggs
1/4 cup flour
parsley
salt and pepper
oil for frying

For the goat cheese cream:
4 oz good quality goat cheese (this is Laura Chenel, it's really yummy)
half and half (amount variable, but probably a few TB)
