Savory & Fried – Hanukkah Recipes

Sweet Potato Latkes with Brie and Arugula

It’s that time of year when deep frying is practically a mitzvah! So even if you usually avoid deep-fried foods, I say go with the flow and embrace the customs of the holiday.  You’ve got eight guilt-free nights to savor these sizzling delights—it would almost be a sin not to.

This year try something new and different for your Chanukah party or even just one of your eight nights at home with the family. Sure we are big latke fans over here, have you browsed our collection of over 90 Latkes right here on the site? Once you are done with all those come back here and try something new.

CARAWAY NOODLE CAKES WITH RED CABBAGE

These Scandinavian-inspired noodle pancakes are crispy and crunchy on the outside, soft and yummy on the inside.
To make these perfect pancakes you will need 4 (3 ½-inch) ring molds.

SPICY MEXICAN EGG ROLLS

I love egg rolls—and egg rolls love me! Now that egg roll wrappers are on the market, anybody can wrap and roll ‘em. This, my latest version, evokes a creamy, cheesy, Mexican-style baked potato.

TEMPURA-STYLE VEGETABLES

I routinely order tempura at Japanese restaurants, and I always wanted to know how to make it at home. Now that I’ve
figured it out, I want to share the secrets to terrific tempura with you!

SWEET POTATO LATKES WITH BRIE & BABY ARUGULA

I recently enjoyed the most amazing Blue Cheese and Arugula Pizza at a restaurant in Brooklyn. Couldn’t stop dreaming about it—and this superb latke is the inspired result. Use blue cheese (for a tangy, bold, sweet and sour flavor) or brie (for a milder, creamy effect) and finish it off with a drizzle of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and freshly ground black pepper.

JALAPENO POPPERS AND WASABI DIPPING SAUCE

Most people have only ever had these at a bar or restaurant, often they come from the freezer. Some people shy away completely for fear that they will be too spicy. If you give them a shot, even the spice averse will find that homemade Jalapeño poppers are worth a fry (try). 

CHEESE STUFFED FALAFEL

Classic Israeli favorite with a twist. 

CHICKEN SCHNITZEL

Everyone’s favorite chicken recipe is when it’s deep fried. 

MOROCCAN CIGARS

Stuff, wrap and roll is what do to make these edible cigars, perfect for dipping. 

ROMAN ARTICHOKES

When you get your hands on some fresh artichokes do like the Romans and fry them!

GEFILTE FISH SCOTCH EGGS

A traditional Jewish food meets a traditional British food for a perfect match!

CORN DOGS

FRITTO MISTO

Fry like an Italian Mamma.

    I fry latkes, but only for Chanukah because of all the oil, but I used to saute breaded cutlets, veal/chicken/turkey when my son lived at home and oven fry chicken.

    We like to fry latkes ahead of time and then reheat in the oven on a baking rack set in a sheet pan. They come out less greasy and more crispy. Makes us think we

    I hardly ever fry, but latkas on Chanuka is non-negotiable. I would love to win the platter, I have someone who would really appreciate it in Israel!

    This is so exciting to be able to actually ‘recognize’ friends/family in Israel with something so special. I would love to win, but either way, i am thrilled that at least one of us can do something this personal and thrilling. Thank you so much for the opportunity.

    Every 5 or 6 weeks three friends and I gather together to eat (fried), drink and watch a movie together. We call it our Deep Fried Movie Night. Our husbands and children (and children-in-law) know that we will not be responsible adults on this night! Always looking for something new to fry!
    The tempura looks good, so do the egg rolls. Can’t wait to try them.
