Transform your leftover mash and butternut into Legendary Butternut Fritters.

Ingredients

2 cups butternut, roasted and mashed
1 cup mashed potatoes
60 ml Hellmann's Original Mayonnaise
1 cup all purpose flour
15 ml Robertsons cinnamon
1 ml salt to season
Robertsons black pepper, to taste
45 ml (3 tbsp) vegetable oil
10 ml brown sugar

Cooking Method

In a large bowl, combine the roasted butternut, mashed potatoes, Hellmann's Original Mayonnaise, flour, brown sugar and Robertsons Cinnamon. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Add more flour if mixture feels too wet.
Liberally coat the bottom of a large sauté pan with vegetable oil and place it over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, scoop a heaped tablespoon of the mixture into the pan.
While the bottom of the fritter cooks, make sure to splash the top of the fritter with hot oil and press down lightly into rounds, spacing them at least 6 cm apart. Don’t overload your pan.
Cook the fritters for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip them once and cook an additional 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked throughout.
Transfer the fritters to the paper towel-lined plate.
Repeat the scooping and cooking process with the remaining mixture.
For extra sweetness, sprinkle the fritters with sugar as they come out of the hot oil.
