Instructions:

  5. Shape the Fritters: Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into patties. It’s like crafting little edible works of art!
  6. Air Fry to Perfection: Place these beauties in the preheated air fryer basket and let them sizzle for 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through. You’ll see them turn a gorgeous golden brown.
