Ingredient Notes

1 cup of fresh or frozen corn kernels can be used for the star ingredient; canned corn also works but may alter the texture slightly. Use a mild cheddar cheese or similar cheese for flavor. The 2 tablespoons of flour help bind the fritters together; any all-purpose flour will do, or you can substitute with almond flour for a gluten-free option. Finally, 1 pound of Greek yogurt serves as the creamy dipping sauce base.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Form the corn mixture into small patties and place them in the skillet.
  2. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Serve warm with a drizzle of Greek yogurt.

Things I’ve Learned

Ensure your corn is well-drained if using canned or fresh to prevent soggy fritters. Store leftover fritters covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can be reheated in an oven for optimal crispiness. You can prep the corn mixture ahead of time and chill before frying to save time.
