Fried Salsify

The salsify can be stewed and mashed up to 1 day ahead, stored covered in the refrigerator. The formed, uncooked cakes can be prepared up to 4 hours ahead, placed on a parchment-lined baking sheet, covered with plastic wrap, and refrigerated. Bread the cakes just before frying for the crispiest results.

Store fried salsify cakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 400°F oven on a wire rack set over a baking sheet for 8-10 minutes to restore crispness. Not recommended for freezing as the texture becomes mushy upon thawing.
