While the Hanukkah menorah is usually lit after sunset, a lazy weekend morning is also a great time to celebrate the Jewish holiday. So many traditional Jewish foods double as brunch favorites, from potato latkes (hash browns, anyone?) to doughnuts and challah. Fried foods are a given, so don’t be shy with the olive oil. And no brunch is complete without a champagne cocktail ? we recommend pretty pink cranberry mimosas. Pick a few favorites from this menu, then round out your dishes with a winter fruit salad. Doughnuts? Fried Potatoes? Hanukkah brunch may just be your new favorite Hanukkah tradition.

Hash browns and home fries are brunch staples, so traditional potato latkes fit right in. Top with sour cream and pieces of cold-smoked salmon or even a fried egg.

Doughnuts are actually traditional Hanukkah foods, another easy fit for brunch. Applesauce is a classic latke topper, so this treat combines the two. Buttermilk makes them so light and tender. “My kids beg me to make these,” says Mia.

The brunch drink gets a festive spin with cranberry-pomegranate juice instead of orange and a whole cranberry garnish. "Get the brunch ready and serve these for the party," says Chef Mo.

Though doughnuts are traditional for Hanukkah because they are fried, we love the ease of baked doughnuts too. You may want to make extra based on Katie Ryan’s review: “My family loved them so much that they only lasted one day!”

A crisp, juicy fruit salad will help to balance the richer, starchier dishes on your brunch buffet. Seasonal fall and winter fruit like citrus, apples, and pomegranate make it even better. It's tossed with a bright honey, lime, and mint dressing.

Since applesauce is usually spooned on top of potato latkes, adding grated Granny Smith apple to the batter is a brilliant twist. It adds a subtle sweetness that makes them a perfect fit for breakfast or brunch.
