Latke Bar:

The latke is a true blank canvas ready to take on condiments for flavor and fresh vegetables or fruit for crunch. Create the ultimate party scene with a make-your-own-latke crostini or have an array of already topped latkes waiting for your guests. Place a tray or two of latkes (basic potato and root vegetable), bowls of various dipping sauces, and fresh produce of choice, and allow your friends and family to experiment with new culinary combinations! Make it a cooking contest or a fun activity and have everyone make a few versions of their personal combinations. Pass around the options and vote on your favorites.

Some of our favorite combo ideas:

Hummus, pomegranate seeds, watercress

Comeback sauce, sliced cherry tomatoes, basil leaves

Spicy BBQ sauce, sliced avocado, radishes cut into thin triangles
