25 Latke Toppings

Latke toppings used to come in only two options: Savory (sour cream) or Sweet (applesauce). While I enjoy the old standbys, it’s nice to have some variety. Here are 25 fresh ideas for an old favorite food:

  1. Cream cheese & chives
  2. Smoked salmon & capers
  3. Jam  (raspberry, apricot, etc.)
  4. Pesto
  5. Chutney
  6. Cranberry sauce
  7. Horseradish
  8. Greek yogurt
  9. Honey
  10. Maple syrup
  11. Cheese  (soft cheese like goat or thin slivers of hard cheddar)
  12. Lemon curd
  13. Salsa
  14. Ketchup
  15. Pear or apple compote
  16. Shredded meat  (roast beef, turkey, etc.)
  17. Pomegranates
  18. Tuna salad
  19. Chicken Salad
  20. Egg Salad
  21. Ratatouille
  22. Berry sauce
  23. Cinnamon & brown sugar glaze
  24. Sliced Avocado
  25. Caramelized onions

While we’re on the subject of toppings, let’s not forget that latkes don’t have to be comprised only of white potatoes. There are versions made from sweet potatoes, carrots, or zucchini that are yummy in a different way. The unusual colors/flavors may upset purists, but I think it’s fun to try new recipes!
