Tam To’s Avocado Fritters

Total Time Prep/Total Time: 25 min.
Yield 4 servings
These avocado fritters offer a fresh twist on the classic avocado toast, blending creamy avocado with a crispy, golden exterior. I like to serve them with a tangy yogurt Sriracha sauce for a spicy kick, though sour cream makes a great alternative. For an elevated touch, top the fritters with cured smoked salmon and salty capers to evoke the flavors of a classic lox bagel. —Tam To, Los Angeles, California
