- 6
- Yields:
-
8 fritters
- Serves:
- 4-8
ingredients
- 1 lb cassava, frozen
- 3 eggs
- 4 ounces aged cheddar cheese, grated
- 1⁄2 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1 -2 garlic clove, crushed
- 4 -6 teaspoons butter
directions
- Boil cassava in salted water until tender, about 20 minutes.
- Drain cassava and cover in cool water for 5 minutes.
- Drain cassava again and put into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Mash well. **Do not use a food processor as this turns it too gooey**.
- Mix in the 3 eggs, seasoning salt and garlic. Stir well.
- Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Melt 1-2 teaspoons of the butter.
- A soup ladle works perfectly for the amount of mixture you will need per fritter. Spoon one ladleful and spread out until a little bit bigger than the palm of your hand. Repeat the process until the frying pan is full. (My frying pan holds 4).
- Fry on one side for 5-6 minutes, checking to make sure you don't burn the bottom. Once nicely browned and holding together, flip over and cook another 5-6 minutes on the other side.
- Serve.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
From a historic sense so you can understand my recipes as they come?
My mother = Native Canadian born but adopted by immigrants from England.
My father = pure red-headed Irish adopted by pure Scots.
Me = Torn between two parents adopted on both sides, confused on my own ancestry. Scottish by adoption, British by adoption, Irish by blood, Native Canadian by blood. Bi-racial by blood and ancestry, war by adoption... leads to curiousity and acceptance of all cultures so I will try SO MANY THINGS. As you will see as you get to know me and my recipes. :D ;)
