Notes
You can make these ahead of time and store them in the fridge before frying. For storage, keep them in an airtight container for a few days. They can be reheated in the oven for the best crispy texture. Frozen leftovers are also a great option, and you can add pureed veggies to the mixture for extra nutrition!
