Helpful Tips
- Watch your oil temperature: Keep the oil steady at 350°F using a thermometer, since oil that’s too hot will burn the outside before the inside cooks through.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan: Fry the fritters in batches so they have room to cook evenly and stay crispy instead of steaming each other.
- Drain properly: Let the fritters rest on paper towels first to soak up excess oil, then move them to a wire rack so the bottoms stay crisp instead of getting soggy.
