Baked Bean Fritters

Baked beans are great as they are, but here’s a way to give them an extra twist. They’re absolutely delicious with rashers of crispy bacon.

Serves 4
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes

½ onion, peeled and chopped
2 rashers bacon, diced
420 g can Wattie's Baked Beans
2 Tbsp freshly chopped parsley
¾ cup cold mashed potato or kumara
½ cup self-raising flour
2 eggs, separated

Heat a dash of oil in a non-stick frying pan, gently fry onion and bacon until tender but not brown.
In a bowl, combine Wattie’s Baked Beans, cooked onion and bacon, parsley, mashed potatoes, self raising flour and egg yolks. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
In a clean bowl beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold egg whites carefully into the bean mixture with a large metal spoon.
Heat a little oil in the frying pan and cook large spoonfuls over a low to moderate heat for about 3 minutes each side. Keep warm in the oven until the remaining mixture is cooked.
Serve fritters with slices of fresh tomato, rocket and crispy rashers of bacon.
