Root Vegetable Fritters

Latchy's Note:

These are very tasty and lend themselves to be played around with. I have done them as per the recipe but added garlic salt and Tabasco, also left out the parsley and cheese and put in fresh chopped coriander and had with chili jam. Play around with them please. You may even get the kids to eat veggies and serve them with tomato ketchup. They are a Donna Hay recipe.

I love trying different recipes for fritters, but as all fritter-makers know there are fritters and there are FRITTERS. This recipe is for FRITTERS. I almost didn’t change a thing! Root vegetables are just SO delicious. I added 3 cloves of minced garlic, but otherwise made this exactly to the recipe. And I served the FRITTERS with ricotta and baby spinach leaves. Just scrumptious. Thank you for sharing this fabulous recipe, Latchy!
