These Crispy Cheddar Corn Potato Fritters combine creamy potatoes, sweet corn, and sharp cheddar, all encased in a golden, crispy exterior—perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded russet potatoes
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup chopped scallions
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Optional: 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese parsley, chives, or thyme
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Grate the russet potatoes and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel. This step ensures your fritters turn out crispy!
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, sweet corn, cheddar cheese, scallions, eggs, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add optional extras like Parmesan or herbs, and mix well.
- Form the mixture into ½-inch thick patties using a spoon or cookie scoop. Don’t worry about them being perfectly shaped—rustic is part of the charm!
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each patty for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve the fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch, sour cream, or salsa.
