Sweet Potato And Corn Fritters Food

SWEET POTATO CORN CHEDDAR FRITTERS

Steps:

• Place softened potatoes in a large bowl and mash. If potatoes were just boiled, place in refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to cool before proceeding.
• Add onions, corn, corn meal, cheese, paprika, salt & pepper and gently combine with a spatula.
• Roll about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into balls, (It will make about 15 of them) place them on a dish and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• While balls are chilling, pour enough oil (I used vegetable) into a pan with raised sides so that the oil goes up about 1/2 inch. Turn burner to medium and let oil heat up.
• Take balls out of the refrigerator and roll in breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl until fully coated.
• Once oil is hot (check by flicking some water into it & hearing a sizzle), place 4-5 balls at a time into the oil. Fry for about 2 minutes per side until golden on all sides. Remove from oil and drain on a towel.
• Garnish with parsley and/or more chopped green onion and serve while warm.

SWEET POTATO FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a shallow pan, heat oil to 350 degrees F.
• Score sweet potato with a fork and microwave on high for 6 minutes or until cooked through. Let cool. Cut sweet potato in half, scoop out the flesh, and place it into a mixing bowl with the butter. Mash well. Add egg, bread crumbs, flour, salt, and pepper and mix well. Add the chives and corn and mix gently. Using 2 spoons to shape, scoop mounds into hot oil, cooking on both sides, in batches, until golden brown. With a slotted spoon or spider, remove fritters from oil and place on paper towel to dry. Mix sour cream, reserved chives, salt and pepper, to taste, and place a small dollop on each fritter when ready to serve.

CORN AND POTATO FRITTERS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp of the oil and gently fry the onion until soft but uncoloured. Remove from heat.
• Mix the potato and sweetcorn together and add the the oregano, beaten egg, onion mix and seasoning if desired.
• Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan or skillet. Divide the mixture into two and place into the hot pan to make two oval shaped cakes.
• Cook the fritters over a low heat for about 10 mins until the bottom is golden and they are almost cooked through. It helps to flatten them with a palette knife.
• Sprinkle each cake with the grated cheese and place under a hot grill until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
• White the fritters are under the grill poach or fry two eggs.
• Serve the fritters topped with the egg and with some sliced tomatoes if desired.

SWEET POTATO FRITTERS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200°F. Line an oven-proof plate or baking sheet with paper towels. Peel and grate the sweet potatoes and squeeze or press them dry if necessary; you want 3 packed cups; save the rest for later.
• Combine the grated sweet potato, flour, cornmeal, onion, egg, and sprinkle of salt and pepper and mix well with a fork. If the mixture looks too liquid, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. (You can make the batter ahead of time and refrigerate for up to a couple of hours before cooking.)
• Put 2 inches of oil in a large pot over medium heat. When the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of sweet potato into the pot. (Work in batches to avoid crowding the pot.)
• Cook turning them with tongs or a slotted spoon as necessary so they brown on all sides, until they're cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the finished fritters to the paper towel-lined plate and put it in the oven to keep warm while you make the rest. Serve hot or at room temperature, with more salt and pepper if you like.
• Cooks' Notes
• Drying Grated Vegetables: Put them into a strainer over a bowl or just squeeze them between your hands.
• Heating Oil for Deep Frying: To use a thermometer for deep frying, clip it on the side of the pot and make sure the tiny hole that registers the temperature isn't touching the pot. If you don't have a thermometer, use a pinch of cornmeal or flour to test when the oil is ready for frying: It should sizzle immediately but not burn.
• Putting the Fritters in the Oil: To minimize splattering, hold one spoon close to the oil and scrape the batter into the oil with another spoon.
• Recognizing Doneness: The fritters should be golden on the outside and soft but not wet in the middle. Check inside-you should still be able to tell the sweet potatoes were grated.

• Cook the fritters over low heat for about 10 minutes, until golden brown underneath and almost cooked through, keeping them tidily in shape with the spatula and loosening them so that they do not stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Sprinkle each potato fritter with the grated cheese and place under a preheated moderately-hot broiler, until golden brown.
• Meanwhile, poach 1 or 2 eggs for each person, until just cooked.
