Cassava Fritters - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb cassava, frozen
    3 eggs
    4 ounces aged cheddar cheese, grated
    1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
    1 -2 garlic clove, crushed
    4 -6 teaspoons butter
Preparation
    Boil cassava in salted water until tender, about 20 minutes.
    Drain cassava and cover in cool water for 5 minutes.
    Drain cassava again and put into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Mash well. **Do not use a food processor as this turns it too gooey**.
    Mix in the 3 eggs, seasoning salt and garlic. Stir well.
    Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Melt 1-2 teaspoons of the butter.
    A soup ladle works perfectly for the amount of mixture you will need per fritter. Spoon one ladleful and spread out until a little bit bigger than the palm of your hand. Repeat the process until the frying pan is full. (My frying pan holds 4).
    Fry on one side for 5-6 minutes, checking to make sure you don't burn the bottom. Once nicely browned and holding together, flip over and cook another 5-6 minutes on the other side.
    Serve.
