Fun Latke Recipes

Published: Nov 13, 2021 · Modified: Oct 28, 2022 by Samantha Ferraro · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

Every year I think of a new fun latke recipe to create! Now, nothing compares to my mom's classic latkes (with shredded zucchini), but having fun with flavors, different vegetables and unique toppings is what the celebration is all about!

Here, I gathered a list of fun and unique latke recipes to try that go beyond just potatoes.

Salt and Vinegar Potato Latkes

A play on the traditional potato latkes, these salt and vinegar potato latkes have a hint of sourness from the vinegar and a healthy sprinkle of sea salt. Serve along side onion and chive sour cream for a fun play on latkes.

Rainbow Latkes

What’s better than brown potato latkes? Rainbow latkes in every color!! (Made naturally, of course!)

Parsnip Latkes with Creme Fraiche and Caviar

Perfect for a Hanukkah ap[petizer, parsnip latkes are topped with creme fraiche, lox and caviar. May I suggest a glass of sparkling to pair it with?

Taro Latkes with Poke

Purple Sweet Potato Latkes with Kimchi

The beauty of this recipe is the flavor combination. The purple sweet potato latkes are a bit starchier fry up beautifully. Then roughly chopped kimchi is layered on top, saving a bit of the kimchi juice to stir into sour cream. And let me tell you…kimchi sour cream is a HUGE must do!
