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.

How To Make loaded corn fritters

  • 1
    In mixing bowl, combine corn, chives, jalapeno, salt, pepper, louisiana seasoning and sugar (if using.)
  • 2
    Add eggs and sour cream; mix well to combine.
  • 3
    Add flour and baking powder; mix well.
  • 4
    Add bacon bits and cheese; mix well.
  • 5
    Into skillet, pour about one inch of oil. Bring oil up to frying temperature over medium/medium high heat.
  • 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.
  • 7
    Serve hot or warm. Refrigerate leftovers. Reheat in toaster oven or air fryer.
