Step 1
In a bowl, combine 2 cups leftover risotto, 1/2 cup flour, 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix until well combined; the mixture should hold together when pressed.
Step 2
Shape the mixture into 4 equal patties, about 1/2 inch thick. If the mixture is too sticky, lightly flour your hands.
Step 3
Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the patties in a single layer, working in batches if needed.
Step 4
Cook until golden brown and crispy on the bottom, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden and heated through, another 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm, optionally with a sprinkle of extra salt or a dollop of sour cream.
