Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 1 cup Sweet corn kernels
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater. Then, wrap the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess moisture.
Finely chop the green onions and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, corn kernels, chopped green onions, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Beat the egg in a separate small bowl and add it to the potato mixture. Stir in the flour until the mixture comes together. It should hold its shape when pressed; if it's too wet, add a little more flour.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the fritter mixture and form it into a small patty. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
Place the patties into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a dollop of sour cream.
