Leek and Potato Fritters with Lemon-Cumin Yogurt

Credit: Becky Luigart-Stayner

Leek and Potato Fritters with Lemon-Cumin Yogurt Recipe

This is based on keftes de prasa, a traditional Sephardic recipe for fritters. Leeks add an aromatic note to traditional Hanukkah latkes (potato pancakes). Fritters and latkes are typically fried with olive oil; here, we use canola oil, which has a mild flavor and high smoke point to brown the fritters. To prepare fritters ahead, place cooked fritters in a 250° oven to stay warm until you're ready to serve. Garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired.

Corn Fritters with JalapeƱo Jelly Recipe

From the Kitchen of…Laraine Perri, Longtime Contributor

"The Perris would sooner sacrifice the turkey than spend Thanksgiving in New York City fritter-less."

Avoid overmixing the batter to keep fritters from becoming too heavy and dense. You can make them earlier in the day and quickly reheat; arrange fritters on a wire rack set over a baking sheet in a 425° oven until thoroughly heated and crisp.

Beef Alcapurrias

Beef Alcapurrias Recipe

This traditional Puerto Rican fritter dish is hearty and full of flavor.Ā TheĀ dough is very wet and pliable--similar toĀ the masa mixture for a tamale--and mayĀ takeĀ a minute to get used to working with.Ā Because it is so soft, the fritters may stick to the bottom when you drop them in the pot. If this happens, let the dough set for about 30 seconds and then gently dislodge the fritters from the bottom until they float.

Hummus-and-Rice Fritters with Mediterranean Salad

Hummus-and-Rice Fritters with Mediterranean Salad Recipe

When using flour as a binder for things that are not baked, such as these pan-seared fritters, the finer grade of cake flour yields a creamier texture in the cooked product. If you don't have it, don't sweat it: You can just use all-purpose.

Green Curry Fritters

Credit: Raymond Hom; Styling: Pamela Duncan Silver

Green Curry Fritters Recipe

Global flavors favorite.

Talk about flavor! Green curry paste (found in the Asian-foods section) and chile paste impart tons of savory-spicy-fragrant hits to ground chicken. Only a tiny tweak to this recipe: Our fritters got a little too browned, so we reduced the cooking temperature from medium-high to medium and cooked them a little longer.
