Fritters are one of those magic meals that combines basic household staples to create something that is all at once exceptionally tasty, satisfying, and very easy to make.
Though well made fritters can set you back a pretty penny in a cafe. Home made fritters are actually extremely economical. Having said that, we have gone all out in this recipe with avocado and smoked salmon which are less than economical accompaniments, but the fritters are also beautiful by themselves.
If you are looking for other more budget friendly sides we can recommend – roasted tomatoes, steamed baby spinach and mushrooms.
