The Fritter Monster/ by Kat Gibbons, Palace Line Cook

I ate an embarrassing amount of potato fritters at work last night.  I ate so many, in fact, that I figured they were good enough to blog about.  For me, working pantry has turned into an opportunity to carbo-load.  Chef Brian Walczyk mixes mashed potatoes, Beecher’s cheddar, and eggs, then rolls them into little potato croquettes, breads them in panko, and fries them.  Walczyk is a firm believer in the power of the fryer- and the cooks support him.  Served alongside cold and creamy caraway onion dip, these little napalm hot potato bullets serve as a delicious “lite” snack after a long night at work.  The fritters are salty, crunchy, and delicious, and to answer your question: Yes I would eat the onion dip with a spoon.
