Root Vegetable Fritters

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.
