Leftover oatmeal fritters

* Olive or vegetable oil for frying
* 3 cups cooked oatmeal, preferably chilled
* All-purpose flour if needed

Preparation

Put a thin film of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Form the oatmeal into 1-inch balls and flatten the balls into patties. (If the patties don't hold their shape, stir flour into the oatmeal, 1 tablespoon at a time, and try again.) When the oil is hot, add the patties to the pan in a single layer (you may have to work in batches). Fry the patties until crisp and golden, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Drain the fritters on paper towels and serve warm or at room temperature.

Time: 20 minutes with cooked oatmeal
