Kumara fritters are a way to use leftover cooked kumara rather than raw, and the mash has to be dry enough to hold together in the pan. Bind it with egg and grated onion, and keep the spoonfuls small so the outsides crisp before the middles set. They are served hot with a salad, or packed into a lunch box at room temperature.
