    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.

    Which latke recipe is your favorite?

    A list of fun and unique latke recipes that go beyond classic potato that you can enjoy every night of the week and then some.

    15+ Fun Latke Recipes That Go Beyond Classic Potato

    Roasted Garlic Caprese Latkes

    Classic latkes are mixed with sweet roasted garlic and topped with roasted tomatoes, creamy burrata cheese and basil oil for an Italian twist.

    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!)

    Hatch Chile Latkes with Hatch Guacamole

    Hatch chile latkes are a New Mexico spin on the traditional latkes. Potato latkes are mixed with savory hatch chiles, cheddar cheese and served with cool guacamole. Not your traditional latkes, for sure, but probably my favorite ones to make!

    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

    Inspired taro latkes with wasabi sour cream and poke. Not your traditional latke to say the least, but the combination of fried taro with spicy cream and poke is one not to be missed.

    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!
