Goat Cheese Potato Cakes with Fresh Tomato Salad Recipe
Goat Cheese Potato Cakes with Fresh Tomato Salad Recipe
What do you get when you buy too many bags of shredded potatoes for sleepover night? Extra potatoes, of course! We recently found ourselves in this very situation at home, and the recipe here is the result. Rather than making breakfast with a bunch of hash-browns, we instead decided to make a light dinner course. Imagine a light salad topped with marinated tomatoes and crispy potato cakes stuffed full of warm goat cheese. Sounds pretty darn good to me. So without further adieu, I present our Goat Cheese Potato Cakes with Fresh Tomato Salad Recipe; I hope your taste buds enjoy the ride.
To Make the Tomato Salad
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup various grape sized tomatoes, quartered
- 1 tablespoon red onion, minced
- 1 tablespoon basil, fine chop
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Fresh pepper and sea salt to taste
DIRECTIONS
- Mix all of the ingredients together gently (don't break up the tomatoes) and set aside.
To Make the Goat Cheese Potato Cakes
INGREDIENTS
- 1 Package Shredded Potatoes
- 1 bunch green onions, sliced thin
- 2 tablespoons of fresh thyme, fine chop
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 4 oz of crumbled goat cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- fresh pepper and sea salt to taste
- 1/2 cup olive oil
DIRECTIONS
- Combine the egg and milk in a small bowl. Wisk together and set aside.
- Combine the remaining ingredients in a large bowl and mix together. Add the egg/milk mixture and mix a little more.
- Heat the olive oil in a saute pan. Once hot, add the potato mixture by forming cakes with your hands and gently placing into the oil. Once the bottom is browned, flip the cakes over. The potato cakes are finished cooking when both sides are a rich golden brown. Remove them from the pan and place on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
To Make the Vinaigrette Dressing
INGREDIENTS
- 1 tsp shallots, chopped fine
- 1 tsp chopped thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- fresh pepper and sea salt to taste
DIRECTIONS
- Whisk everything together in a small bowl. Set aside.
To Put it All Together
- Lightly dress field greens with the vinaigrette and transfer the salad to a plate.
- Top with the warm potato cakes.
- Spoon the tomatoes over the top of the potato cakes. Eat and enjoy.

that sounds SO good. I can’t wait to try those!!
I’m allergic to tomatoes, so I couldn’t make this recipe. But I’ve used these awesome Simply Potatoes before and they are great with scrambled eggs and bacon MIXED IN!
This looks amazing. I’m obsessed with potato anything and my husband is Italian and loves tomato anything. It’s the perfect mix for both of us.
Oh wow this sounds really good. I’m new to goat cheese but I would love to try it crumbled into those potato cakes!
I love to add Potato to stews and soups to thicken them! I love Potato Pancakes as well! đŸ™‚
This looks SO tasty. I love tomato salad in the summer!
This looks and sounds good. I had goat cheese for the first time a couple months ago. I really enjoyed it.
I love the taste of goat cheese and the thought of using it within a potato cake sounds amazing! I think the entire flavor profile you have going on in this recipe is wonderful.
That looks delicious! I’m a fan of potato cakes so this is perfect!
Oh that looks fabulous, Tasty, and down right beautiful. Yumm.
I’m totally drooling over these potatoes. Goat cheese is one of our favorite cheeses. Those Simply Potatoes Hashbrowns will make this dish come together even quicker!
I love goat cheese so much! This recipe looks so good!
I love Simply Potatoes for breakfast, but you’re inspiring me to incorporate them into other dishes as well. This salad sounds delicious.
That recipe looks great – I would never have considered combining potatoes with salad but you make it look great!
I would use them to make Clam Chowder with. They work really well for this!
My husband is a hashbrown freak and he eats them almost every single day. He generally will make them himself, and breakfast is a meal he makes well (in fact he normally will make breakfast for me)
I would like this recipe you made minus the goat cheese or replacing it with feta. I have tried to like goat cheese, truly I have, but to me goat cheese tastes like a goat smells.
I want to make this dish, especially since you have the Potato Cakes made with Simply Potatoes. This dish looks so delicious and I am going to the store to get my ingredients! Thanks for sharing.
Mmm, this looks yummy! I’ve never tried goat cheese before!
I haven’t heard of Simply Potatoes. But we love potatoes so I need to check them out.
Oh my goodness this looks amazing. Goat cheese is one of my favorite things to cook with.
Wow, that’s a loaded salad! Goat cheese potato cakes sounds really delicious and filling!
I use them primarily as a side. I pair them up with some chicken breasts, fresh rolls and some country gravy. The diced potatoes are usually eaten alongside burgers.
I will have to try this! it looks amazing!!
Wow! I am licking my computer monitor as we speak. This looks so amazing!
This looks so yummy! I’m pinning this and trying it this weekend!
YUM, this looks delish!
I normally don’t use goat cheese, but I might have to make an exception for this recipe.
I would make hasbrown egg casserole.
This looks super healthy and yummy! I am craving this now!!
Can’t wait to try this myself & serve with my family. Thanks for sharing
What a gorgeous and delicious sounding way to have hash browns – fit for company, and just for home, too! How convenient to get the potatoes already peeled and shredded.
Such a pretty dish! These look mouth watering! Got to try these.
OMG, my mouth is watering! This is one recipe I’m definitely going to try!
This recipe looks delicious! I am certainly going to be trying it! Thanks!
