I love fresh corn and couldn’t think of a better way to use it than in my homemade Corn Fritters.
Everyone loves corn on the cob, and whether its boiled, grilled or roasted it’s always delicious. Of course, you can simply cut it off the cob and sauté it with a little olive oil or butter, add some sea salt and black pepper and you’ve got an easy to eat side dish for just about any meat, poultry or fish you’re cooking up for dinner.
Even raw the corn makes an excellent addition to a salad.

My family enjoyed the corn fritters. It is the first time that I have made them and will definitely make them again. I did change the recipe up a bit. I added some garlic and some black pepper. My daughter suggested that a bit of chili pepper would also be good. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Hi Dennis, I have a lot of left over cooked corn on the cob. So I’m wondering how many cups is 2 ears of corn. As the ears of corn come in different sizes. I really want to make your fritter recipe, but not sure about how many cups of corn to use.
Chef Dennis Littley says
An average is about 3/4 of cup per ear
Teresa says
These corn fritters look delicious. I am going to try them along with your roasted rack of pork. If I want to bake the fritters……..what time and temp do you suggest? Thanks.
Chef Dennis Littley says
I’ve only fried my fritters Teresa, but my best guess would be about 15 minutes at 350. You may need to keep an eye on them to be sure.
