We are clearly in alatke makingfrenzy this week. Now we are dreaming up all the ways we can devote a whole party to them. Imagine: a spread of assorted crispy assortedpotato pancakesand other fritters with an array of sauces for dunking. What could possibly be better?
Sure, that means a bit more effort, but just imagine your guests' greedy glee when a new kind of latke hits the table. No time for multiple latke varieties? Then time to get creative with your dipping sauces. Read on to meet the power latke couples:
Classic Latkes + Applesauce
A latke party without this classic combo just isn't a latke party. For the truly devoted, you'll need some sour cream too.
Spinach + Feta
These spinach-packed and dill-spiced latkes are begging for a tangy feta dipping sauce.
Carrots + Salted Yogurt
Latke meets pancake in these gluten-free carrot fritters, which are made with chickpea flour. Use good flaky salt to give the salted yogurt a tangy crunch.
Potato Parsnip Latkes + Savory Applesauce
Potatoes and parsnips are a match made in heaven. Serves these fritters with an herby twist on your typical applesauce. If you can't find savory (the herb), substitute thyme, marjoram, or sage.
Our Favorite Latkes +Lox Sauce
Our Favorite Latkes are pefect in every way and crispy enough to stand up to a variety of sauces. Plus you can eat them in just a couple bites, which makes them perfect for a latke party. We couldn't decide if we wanted them dunked in sour cream or topped with salmon, so this lox sauce combines the best of both worlds.
Porcini Mushroom Latkes + Extra-Green Green Goddess Dip
We thought a creamy tarragon or parsley dip would pair well with these earthy mushroom latkes. This green goddess dressing is packed with herbs and watercress, so it's extra green and zesty.
Vegetable Latkes + Beet Yogurt
A bit lighter than a classic latke, this veggie version is chock-full of parsnips, carrots, and leeks. We are pairing it with a cool, creamy, and vibrant beet yogurt that will surely add a pop of color to your latke spread.
