Transfer the fritters to the paper towel-lined plate, season them immediately with salt and repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.

- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help your fritters cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. When cooking the fritters, don't overcrowd the skillet. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
