2Tzimmes
ERIK BERNSTEIN
The word tzimmes has its origins in Yiddish: To “make a big tzimmes about something” essentially means making a big fuss. Here, there’s hardly any! The carrots and dates are quickly braised in an orange sauce and finished with fresh parsley for a pop of green.

These crispy potatoes are totally versatile; you can top them with cheddar, ranch seasoning (good use for any leftover seder plate karpas, or parsley), or even brie. Skip the Parmesan and swap the butter for olive oil if you want to serve these alongside meat as a side, or put them out alongside toothpicks as an app.

13Rösti
Erik bernstein
Swiss rösti is essentially the fanciest potato latke you’ll ever eat, where the best part is the topping. We view it almost like a Passover pizza. We love classic applesauce, but you can go fancy with a bit of lox, sour cream, fresh dill, and roe for an amazing treat for any celebration.

Make meat and potatoes the cocktail-hour way by serving brisket over potato chips. We prefer thick-cut ridged chips, but any hearty chip will do.

18Baba Ghanoush
Park Feierbach
We like our eggplant-based baba ghanoush GARLICKY. If you don’t, skip grating the raw clove in at the end. Without it, you’ll have a more subtle (slightly sweet) garlic flavor that will still make everyone very, very happy. Accompanied by crudités and matzo chips, you really can’t go wrong.

19Sweet Potato Crostini
Jon Boulton
Swapping bread for sweet potatoes is the most genius way to get that melty, cheesy flavor you love without the chametz! We topped these with dried cranberries, toasted walnuts, and rosemary, but feel free to switch it up.

20House Latkes
ERIK BERNSTEIN
Though latkes are commonly served with applesauce and plain sour cream; here, they get a flavor-boost with a spicy horseradish and chive sour cream topping, which adds savory depth to each bite.
