Vegetable fritters are a favorite of mine. Obviously, as I've already posted four (and maybe five by the time I post this): Faith's is my favorite (because I make it all the time) and then Ottolenghi's leek fritters, plus Donna Hay's (the closest to this recipe) ...and lastly, the one I've had an amazing number of hits on: Peter's Tomato Fritters.
What I like about Alicia's recipe is you can use up some things in your veggie bin. Well, that's the fun with most fritters, using up your veggie bits and pieces.
I served these fritters with some sour cream but Alicia served them with a garlicky blue cheese dip of some sort. You can make them in round balls too. Anything goes.
Alicia Foodycat's Sweet Potato and Corn Fritters
From Alicia at Foodycat
Ingredients:
3 sweet potatoes, peeled and coarsely grated
4 cobs of corn, kernels sliced off
1 onion, finely sliced
2 leeks, finely sliced
1 green pepper, chopped
small bunch of coriander, chopped
3 large eggs
2 cups self-raising flour, approx
salt, pepper and smoked paprika
Method:
Mix all the veg in a large bowl with the eggs and season with salt, pepper and a little smoked paprika, then add flour until it forms a pretty thick batter. (I didn't use nearly as much as the ingredient list indicates. Eye it as you're adding.
Heat 2" of oil in a deep saucepan, then press handfuls of the batter into balls and carefully drop into the oil. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side, in batches, draining well on kitchen paper.
They look very tempting and really scrumptious!

sweet potatoes and corn are two of my favorite sides, and this is a fabulous way to combine them! love me some fritters. :)
ReplyDeleteMine too, Barbara. These fritters look scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteThose do look good Barbara. I have a bunch of corn in the freezer that came off extra ears this summer. Fritters are such a lovely snack.
ReplyDeleteFritters are a GREAT way to "clean out the fridge" Barbara but I must say, these would be fabulous at any dinner party and I doubt there would be any leftover!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Barbara...
Your fritters look delicious, sweet potato and corn are a match from heaven :)
ReplyDeleteI want to try them in a burger!

There can never be too many fritters! It's a delicious use of every vegetable. Love this mix of sweet potato and corn.
ReplyDeleteI love veggie fritters too, Barbara! I haven't ventured out much past zucchini fritters, though. I know I would love these with sweet potato.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked them! These look beautifully crisp!
ReplyDeleteDear Barbara, I like fritters too. These are great. Blessings dear. Catherine
ReplyDeleteVeggie fritters are my favorite, these look nice and crunchy!
ReplyDeleteI once made corn fritters and used corn relish in the fritter and as the dipping sauce. Oh they were so memorable.
ReplyDeleteI must try with sweet potato
great idea for sweet potatoes---I'm always looking for more ways to use 'em through the fall and winter.
