- Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, add ghee to melt. While the skillet heats, use an ice cream scoop to scoop out 10-12 scoops then form in to patties. Place in the skillet, not overcrowding the pan, and cook for around 5-6 minutes per side. Keep an eye on the heat to make sure the fritters are browning without burning.
- While the fritters cook, place all ingredients for the cream sauce in a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Top each fritter with extra green onions and the cream sauce.
