Latkes, Brisket & Doughnuts
Hanukkah Recipes
Foods fried in oil are a Hanukkah tradition, which is why crisp potato latkes and jam-filled doughnuts appear on so many tables over the eight nights.
This collection pairs them with a slow cooker brisket that keeps for days in its sauce, a braided challah and a simple roast chicken for a smaller gathering.

Quick answer
Savour's Hanukkah recipes are crispy potato latkes (about 55 minutes), sufganiyot or jam-filled doughnuts, slow cooker beef brisket and braided challah bread. For a smaller dinner, make herb butter roast chicken, and add air fryer falafel for another crisp favourite. The brisket keeps in its sauce in the fridge for 3-4 days and freezes for up to 3 months, so it is easy to make ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are fried foods eaten at Hanukkah?
Hanukkah recalls the story of a small amount of oil that kept the Temple lamp burning for eight days, so foods cooked in oil, such as latkes and sufganiyot, are a traditional part of the holiday.
Can I make latkes ahead?
Yes. Cool the fried latkes, then refrigerate them with parchment between the layers for up to 3 days, or freeze them in a single layer for up to 2 months. Reheat them in a hot oven until crisp again rather than in the microwave.
