Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium kumara (sweet potato)
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 2 spring onions (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
Peel the kumara and grate it using a medium grater. Squeeze out excess moisture by pressing the grated kumara with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated kumara, corn kernels, all-purpose flour, eggs, spring onions, parsley, cumin, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Scoop 2–3 tablespoons of the mixture for each fritter and place it into the pan, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon to form a round shape.
Cook the fritters for 3–4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil to the pan if necessary.
Serve the fritters warm, garnished with additional parsley or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
