Me and carrots get along perfectly. I've loved them forever and am always finding new ways to incorporate them into my cooking. This recipe is the outcome of pure love for carrots and what I had in the fridge...super easy to throw together and so delish! —TiggyBee

I was just mulling over what I would do to go about making carrot fritter - to grate? to mash? to fry? to deep fry? which herbs? Now I don't even have to go to the trouble of experimenting myself because these look fabulous! Definitely giving them a try.
