Beet Fritters – Easy Golden Beets Recipe

This is really a very simple recipe from a cookbook I have, The Food & Cooking of Finland for Srivalli’s Cookbook Cooking Challenge. I purchased this cookbook several years ago when I was hosting a dinner featuring the cuisine of Finland. I cooked some recipes from the book for the event and never really looked at it again except for the mushroom soup, which I have made several times. Recently, I have been trying some of the other recipes from the book like Vyborg Pretzels.

Although I eat beets often, I never before thought of frying them. I used 4C Whole Wheat seasoned breadcrumbs. The breadcrumbs are seasoned with garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and other spices. If you are using plain breadcrumbs, sprinkle salt and pepper on the beets and I would recommend seasoning the breadcrumbs as well.

I have experimented with lots of food from Finland. The next thing I need to do is visit the country, but until we get there lets enjoy some delicacies from Finland!

• Vyborg Pretzels
• Rosolje (Beet Potato Salad)
• Hiekkakakku (Finnish Sandtorte – Potato Starch Cake)
• Riivinkropsu (Grated Potato Casserole)
• Friteeratut Kala (Fried Fish – Finland Style)
• Paasiaisleipa (Easter Bread)
• Sekahadelma Keitto (Dried Fruit Dessert Soup)

These are great served with sour cream, as they would in Finland! Remoulade Sauce will also add a bunch of flavor to this as a great snack or appetizer to any meal!

Who knew that something so simple could be so delicious. The natural sweetness from the beets coupled with the crispy, savory exterior was delicious.
