These were quite tasty little things. They were quick to make, and besides for avoiding grating my fingers, pretty easy too. I only have a hand grater and it makes a fine shred. I used a half teaspoon of dried basil. They turned out well, and although I had fry in four batches to get all the batter done, I never needed to add more oil to the pan which is a plus with me. It made a great side dish, thanks! Made for PAC Fall 2012.
