what are some good side dishes that go with latkes for a hannukah dinner?

1 Answer

Answer :

Something green is very important or your plate will be all tan-colored. Quickly sautéed green beans or is good choice and I like including some kind of pesto sauce or other dip that is non-traditional to surprise your guests a bit. I also think that having a protein is a must or everyone will put on too many pounds. For this, I would suggest serving setae-chicken on skewers with a gado-gado sauce.
