Dairy:
1. Lat-Koodles by Dini Klein
So many good nostalgic flavors here served up in a crisp latke form. Think of it as a cross between a sweet noodle kugel and funnel cake. I’m all for traditional latkes but sometimes it’s fun to switch things up!
This is also a great recipe to make when you want to use up leftover pasta. I love using Manischewitz egg noodles for this recipe. She’s a classic!
2. Latke Crusted Mozzarella Sticks by Erin Grunstein
3. Fried Cheese Ravioli by Sara Goldstein
One of the best things about these fried cheese ravioli is that you can keep a bag in your freezer and pull it out whenever you’re in the mood to make them! Serve these alongside a big salad, and you’ve got a special and delicious meal.
4. Funnel Cakes in a Bag by Rena Tuchinsky
A FUN way to spend time with your family and also make a sweet treat for Chanukah. Kids love being involved, and you’ll have one less dish to clean thanks to mixing everything right in the bag!
5. Churro Alfajores by Jaia Kiesel
Chanukah is always a holiday full of light and joy. We enjoy time with our families and friends eating deep fried foods, playing dreidel, and giving gifts.
But this year is different. It is more special than usual… but why?
Because this year, when we light the candles, we are going to ask God for a lot of light in the world; we are going to ask to witness a miracle, the miracle of Chanukah, just as happened many years ago with the Maccabees.
With God’s help, may there be only peace and light in the world.
Am Yisrael Chai!

10. Batter-Dipped Cookie Dough by Chaia Frishman
From the files of “you only live once” comes a recipe that is worth trying, just to say you did it. Have patience with these babies. They’re oozy straight out of the deep fryer, but if you let them sit a few minutes, they’re easier to eat (not to mention safer).
11. Zucchini Chips by Naomi Nachman
A family favorite of ours. I make this recipe for special occasions and my kids devour them straight out of the frying pan. I can’t make them fast enough.
Pareve:
12. Fried Pickles by Bruchy Duschinsky
I know: Fried pickles are not a basic food. But it doesn’t hurt to include something exotic for those who want to experiment with an out-of-the-box delicious idea. These are fried, savory, and have the perfect inner crunch. Pair it with great dipping sauces for the full effect. Think it’s too weird? Don’t knock it until you try it!
Double the batter recipe if you plan to fry an entire jar of pickles.
13. Churros by Bruchy Duschinsky
Originating from Mexico, these perfectly tender bites that taste like sweetened breadsticks are one of the world’s favorite desserts. They are irresistible when paired with melted ganache or hot dipping chocolate. If you’ve never tried your hand at these, don’t be nervous. They are really simple to make and are literally no fail, so go ahead and enjoy.

Meat:
18. Korean Corn Dogs in Beer Batter by Menachem Goodman
