Latkes with toppings

On Hanukkah, it’s all about the oil when it comes to food customs. To celebrate the miracle of the oil that burned in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, we like to fry.  

The most traditional Hanukkah staples are latkes and sufganiyot.  Latkes can be made from cheese or any combination of vegetables with a favorite being from potato. Sufganiyot can be filled with jelly or your favorite custard and topped with everything from powdered sugar to caramel.  But don’t let these staples stop you, we can take a taste from every cuisine for our Hanukkah celebrations.  Browse below to find all sorts of fried goodies to serve at your parties. 

LATKE BAR

It all starts with the latke and we have Over 100 Latke Recipes!!!  From different flavors to different vegetables to different toppings, the latke is the most versatile of all. 

EGG ROLLS

We love to fry other fun foods, check out 11 Types of Egg Rolls.  From savory to traditional Asian to a sweet dessert, egg rolls are another fried favorite.
