Crispy Cheddar Corn Potato Fritters

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
  • 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.
