Jerusalem Artichoke Fritters Recipes

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE FRITTERS WITH CRANBERRIES AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Shred the Jerusalem artichokes through the large holes of a box grater and into a large bowl. Stir in the eggs, scallions, cranberries, almonds, flour, cornmeal, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper to form a thick but even batter.
• Pour about 1 inch of oil into a large, high-sided saute pan. Clip a deep-frying thermometer to the inside of the pan and heat the oil over medium heat to 350°F.
• Scoop up 1/4 cup of the batter, plop it into the hot oil, and flatten it into a 1/2-inch-thick patty (tip: use the bottom of the measuring cup). Drop the patty in the oil and make a couple more. (No crowding!) Cook until browned and crisp, about 6 minutes, turning once. Adjust the burner heat to keep the oil's temperature constant. Use a slotted spatula to transfer the patties to a wire rack set over paper towels. Continue frying the rest of the patties.
