Fried cheese patties. ... What! I have not tried this yet.

[Hotler]

Found this in a 1981 Southern Junior League Cookbook.

1-pound cream style cottage cheese
2-eggs
1-C flour
1-tsp salt
2-Tbls sugar
1/4 C +- butter for frying
1-C sour cream for topping.

Mix cheese, eggs, flour, salt, sugar. Mixture will be thick. Fry in butter, making 1/2 cup patties 3 inch round. Fry 8-10 until lightly brown, turning once. Top with sour cream and sprinkle with sugar.

1. no need for sugar IMO. otherwise it does sound a bit weird nt

[Warpy]

2. Sugar is likely there to start the browning process

There isn't enough there to make it sweet.

ETA: it looks a bit bland to me, so I'd probably add some chopped scallion or broccoli or chopped walnuts or....

without the sugar and maybe add some dill.

4. I had something like this in Italy a few years

ago. They used pecorino and wrapped it with prosciutto. Definitely want to tweak and try this one.

5. Sorry

but will not be included in my recipe file. Perhaps if it was an air fryer recipe but do not want that much grease.

6. So try it in the air fryer.

Why not?

7. Sounds to me like a richer potato latke without the potatoes and optional onions n/t

8. When I mixed the cheese layer for lasagna

Sometimes I had some left and made cheese fritters. Pretty tasty.

9. You can also make this with ricotta cheese

Farmer cheese works too.
