SPINACH AND PEA FRITTERS
As a vegetable-forward weeknight meal, these spinach fritters have it all: sweet peas, gooey cheese and crispy bits. Made from thawed, frozen peas and spinach, the work is minimal. If you'd like to use fresh peas and spinach, you'll need to quickly blanch and drain them first. Fresh mozzarella adds a pleasant creaminess, but goat cheese or feta would work, too. Serve these over quinoa or rice, or top with a poached or fried egg for brunch.

Steps:
- Squeeze the excess water out of the spinach and set aside. (You should have about 1 cup of prepped spinach.) Line a plate with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the red-pepper flakes. Fold in the peas and reserved spinach, being sure to break up the spinach to help it distribute evenly. Add the flour, cheese, herbs, lemon zest and baking powder, and fold to combine evenly.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium-high. Add 4 (1/4-cup) scoops of the fritter mixture into the hot oil and press them down into 1/4-inch-thick patties. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared plate to drain; season with salt.
- Repeat with the remaining vegetable mixture and oil as necessary. Garnish fritters with additional herbs and serve with yogurt.

Tips:

- If you don't have a potato ricer or food mill, you can mash the potatoes with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
- Add the milk and butter to the potatoes while they are still hot so that they melt and incorporate easily.
- Season the mash to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- For a more flavorful mash, add some grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled bacon.
- Serve the mash immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
