Notes
For a healthier option, try air frying the fritters instead of deep frying.
Store any leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, use an oven or air fryer for crispiness instead of a microwave.
Feel free to experiment with add-ins like green onions, cheese, or spices to customize your fritters to your taste.
