These cheesy corn fritters are a great side dish to any meal. You can whip these up in minutes using just pantry staples. The combination of the crispy edges and soft centre of these fritters is beyond amazing! Every bite will hook you to grab another and another. Serve these fritters garnished with a dollop of sour cream, and watch your family devour these until it’s all gone!
For this recipe, feel free to use canned or frozen corn. Although, I recommend using fresh corn, especially in the summer, where fresh corn is abundant. But if not available, just use canned, and it’s equally amazing!
These are the best corn fritters I’ve had! When I first tasted these fritters, I know these are going to be part of my family’s favourite, and I was not wrong! Also, whenever I have guests coming over, and I need something easy and quick, I just whip these corn fritters up. This is another amazing recipe that’s incredibly simple yet guarantees an impressive result!
