Whoa, these crispy corn fritters were good. I had some sweet corn in the freezer left from our favorite corn farm, My Dad’s Sweet Corn in Tipton, Indiana. Their corn is so sweet and delicious. It made these fritters into something special!
Served With A Kicked-Up Sauce
I served these crispy corn fritters with our favorite Southwestern sauce. The sauce has just the right amount of kick to compliment that great corn sweetness. A little sweet, a little heat. When you get the combination just right you have a great dish!
I get out my big deep fryer when it’s time to fry a large batch of food. It comes to temperature quickly and it maintains that temperature perfectly. It has a built-in oil filter and storage unit so I can re-use the oil several times.
Fresh corn is best for making these fritters, but you can use canned or even frozen. Just make sure that the corn is thawed if frozen, well drained, and patted dry before using.
