Before you fry these little packages of joy, everything—salad, sides, fellow diners—should be at the table and ready to feast. Like carbonara not eaten immediately or risotto that sits for more than a few moments, the essence of this dish fades just as quickly as it comes together. These crispy-creamy fritters shine with all kinds of accoutrements, from your favorite pesto and leafy greens to fresh or sun-dried tomatoes and some warm ciabatta.—Ozoz Sokoh, recipe developer
