I made the original saltcod version of these fritters via Andrew Zimmern's Kitchen Adventures and watched my friends and family devour them. I love fritters! I love anything fried! So I created two versions - both glutenful and gluten-free - and was delighted when taste testers couldn't tell the difference between the two.
If fritters - sweet or savory - aren't in your rotation, they should be. They come together dangerously quickly, as in you'll find yourself from craving to stuffing your face with crispy fried goodness in about 15 minutes. I have visions of frying up a batch for my girlfriends post-cocktails. In fact, that should happen tomorrow. Hmm...
I worked out a ham variation for those of you who will soon have slabs of it leftover post-Easter dinner. Definitely make ham soup, but save a spot for these as well. Fritters make a lovely nibble with bubbles or a light dinner alongide salad or a perfect accompaniment to...soup! It might be a bit over-the-top to serve ham fritters with ham soup but maybe not. They would for sure be delicious alongside a tomato version.
