• 3 medium eggs
• 7/8 cup caster sugar
• 1 1/8 cups low fat cottage cheese
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 2 cups plain flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 9/16 pound boiled potatoes cooled and grated
• 2 13/16 tablespoons butter melted and cooled
• 1 7/8 cups dried cranberries
• 4 1/4 cups vegetable oil
• 5 tablespoons strawberry jam
• 6 2/3 tablespoons icing sugar for dusting

1. In a large bowl, cream together the eggs and sugar for about 5 minutes. Stir in the cottage cheese, vanilla extract, flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt and mix briefly. Knead in the grated potatoes, cooled butter, and dried cranberries.
2. Heat oil to about 350u0b0F in a large, deep pan, or Dutch oven. Carefully place teaspoon sized dollops of batter into the hot oil and fry for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Fill a pastry syringe with the jam and inject about 1 tsp into each fritter. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
