Thomson - Hmm, the shape is all about pressing the latke mixture flat and very tightly between your palms before placing them in the pan. We tried a light touch once and found they were a bit caky and not as crisp. So, pressing them together makes the latkes thinner and wider and will help them hold their shape ensuring a nice crispiness all around. I hope this helps!!

I love love latkes, though we usually only make them once a year. I've never tried them with all sweet potato though. I'm excited to make them! This is a timely post as I'm figuring out dinners for the next couple of days. THANK YOU!

Readymom and Marthaandme, let me know how this recipe works for you!

Alisa, $4 sounds crazy right, but it's a peasant dish really and the peasants knew how to pinch a penny! The goat cheese though, that adds a $1 itself:)

I am and always will be a fan of New York. I've made "regular" latkes but never from sweet potatoes, what a refreshing change. I will give these a try!

Oh, my, you've got me with this one. I do not like latkes because I really don't like potatoes much...even though I used to make them all the time when my children were little. But sweet potatoes and goat cheese? That's a whole different latke... a must-have latke.
