Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Bunuelos de Espinaca (Spinach Fritters) Recipe). When I was young, my Argentinean friend often had these South American fritters packed in her school lunch. I was always willing to indulge in as many as she would allow! Eventually her mother started packing extras! I've since lost her recipe, but this one produces the same delightful flavor and texture I relished as a kid. Enjoy for breakfast, lunch, or snack.
