Notes
My Top Tip: Let your oil heat up before you fry your fritters. Look for a shimmer on the oil, but make sure it's not smoking. The hot oil will help them get brown and crispy on the outside.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat them in the microwave, in a skillet with a little olive oil, or in an air fryer before serving.
Freezing: You can freeze these fritters before or after cooking them. To freeze them prior to cooking, lay them on a flat baking dish in the freezer for at least 4 hours. When frozen, place them in an airtight bag. When you're ready to eat, thaw your fritters in the fridge overnight and cook per the above instructions. To freeze them after cooking, simply store them in an airtight bag after they've cooled. To re-heat, thaw them in the fridge overnight and bake in a 350°F oven until heated through.
