JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE FRITTERS

Jerusalem Artichoke Fritters image

The fritters in this recipe are almost better cold than hot, making them ideal to prepare ahead of time. Jerusalem artichokes - a knobby, sweetly versatile vegetable - require no peeling, only a good scrub with a stiff vegetable brush, cutting down on prep time. You'll grate them into a bowl with the rest of your ingredients, season to taste and fry over medium heat until they're golden brown. Serve them with a sour cream dipping sauce, and your guests will clamor for more.
