My husband calls these golden crispy fritters "ultra corn fritters." They're loaded with cheese, bacon, chives, a little sour cream and lots of flavor! You can leave the jalapeno out if you prefer.

Ingredients

2 cups 2 c fresh corn, with "milk" from cob (approx. 4 ears)
1 tablespoon chives (heaping)
1 large jalapeno, finely minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon louisiana seafood seasoning (or cajun/creole seasoning)
1 teaspoon white sugar (optional)

How To Make loaded corn fritters

Step 1

In mixing bowl, combine corn, chives, jalapeno, salt, pepper, louisiana seasoning and sugar (if using.)

Step 2

Add eggs and sour cream; mix well to combine.
Step 3

Add flour and baking powder; mix well.
Step 4

Add bacon bits and cheese; mix well.
Step 5

Into skillet, pour about one inch of oil. Bring oil up to frying temperature over medium/medium high heat.
Step 6

Cooking in batches of about 5 at a time, drop corn mixture from a large tablespoon into hot oil, quickly flattening a bit with the back of the spoon. Brown until golden on both sides (watch closely because it only takes about 2 minutes or so per side.) Drain on paper towels.
Step 7

Serve hot or warm. Refrigerate leftovers. Reheat in toaster oven or air fryer.
