Description
A delicious appetizer or snack featuring mashed potatoes, corn, and cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or canned)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, corn kernels, shredded cheese, chopped green onions, and chopped parsley. Add the egg, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until well combined to form a thick batter.
- Shape the Fritters: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into small patties. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat a generous amount of oil over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough for frying.
- Fry the Fritters: Place the patties in the skillet, leaving space between each one. Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the fritters and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with a dipping sauce of your choice.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of chili flakes or a bit more garlic powder.
- If the mixture is too wet and difficult to shape, add a bit more flour until the desired consistency is achieved.
- These fritters are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in an oven to restore their crispiness.
