Steps
To make ricotta fritters you must use ricotta that is dry and well drained, otherwise the patties will fall apart during cooking.
Gather the ricotta in a bowl, add pepper, a pinch of salt, the grated cheese and the chopped parsley. Beat with a fork until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.
Heat a pan with a drizzle of oil and spoon the mixture into it, shaping the patties with a spoon. Cook them over medium heat on one side and as soon as they take on color, gently turn them over with a spatula, taking care not to break them.
The ricotta patties are ready, all that’s left is to enjoy them. Store any leftovers in the fridge and consume within 24 hours.
