YIELD:15-20 silver-dollar-sized fritters

INGREDIENTS

• ½ lb. or ½ medium rutabaga (about 2 cups shredded), peeled and grated

• 1 tsp salt

DIRECTIONS

1. Place a box grater on a clean kitchen towel. Shred rutabaga using the large holes on the box grater. Toss with salt and wait 3-5 minutes.

2. Wring out as much excess water from shredded rutabaga as possible. (You may need to repeat several times.)

3. In a large mixing bowl, mash white beans. Add green onions, garlic, egg, flour, cornstarch, black pepper, and cheese. Fold in the dried rutabaga.

4. Heat 1-2 Tbsp oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Ladle out 1/8 cup batter and press flat with a spatula. Fry until golden brown and crispy on each side, about 3-4 minutes. Add more oil as needed.

5. Garnish if desired and serve warm.
