How To Make rutabaga fritters
-
Step 1Grate the rutabagas into a bowl and mix them with ½ teaspoon salt. Let stand for a few minutes, then squeeze in a clean dish towel to remove most of the liquid.
-
Step 2Mix onion into the grated rutabaga.
-
Step 3Beat the egg and add it to the rutabaga with a pinch of salt, Italian seasoning, flour, sugar and a large pinch of black pepper. Mix well. Finally, add the bread crumbs and mix again.
-
Step 4Heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a non-stick skillet. Place about 2 tablespoons of rutabaga mixture for each fritter in the skillet. Do not crowd them. As the fritters are frying, gently flatten them with a spatula.
-
Step 5Once the fritters are browned on one side, carefully turn them over and brown the other side. Put finished fritters on paper towel lined pan and keep warm in oven while continuing to fry the remaining fritters. Add extra oil if needed. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a dab of horseradish sauce, mustard, or both!
