2. Sweet Potato Latkes
For the folks who insist on ordering sweet potato fries at the burger joint — this one is for you. With a slightly sweeter taste than the OG, these make for the perfect flavor combination with savory toppings.
3. Apple Fritter Latkes
Instead of pairing the classic Hanukkah dish with applesauce, try combining grated apples with your potato mix to form an unexpectedly delightful treat. Replace the usual toppings with a caramel sauce and you’ll transform this beloved meal into a dessert.
4. Schnitzel Latkes
Sometimes the meat and potato kinds of dishes are the most flavorful. Thin schnitzel cuts of chicken are coated with a latke mix and then deep-fried for a crunchy, juicy, savory bite of pure deliciousness.

You can have your jelly donut and eat it too with this recipe combining the best of both Hanukkah recipes. Soft and sweet but also savory, these are the unexpected additions you need to your holiday hosting table.
6. Bissli Latkes

7. Dirty Martini Latkes
The Dirty Martini can never go out of style, only change form — and we’d have to all agree that latke form may be the best. Green olives and potatoes with a dirty martini dip? Give me 14 of them, right now.
8. Lox Latkes
Lox is another Jewish favorite that deserves to live on more than just bagels. Smoked salmon, capers and onion all take the potato mix to the next level for a bite of pure bliss. Top with some crème fraîche and its chef’s kiss.
