How to Make Crispy Cheddar Corn Potato Fritters Step by Step

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

Grate the potatoes and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible—this is key for crispiness!

In a large bowl, combine shredded potatoes, corn, cheddar cheese, eggs, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully combined.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. You want enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.

Step 4: Fry the Fritters

Scoop about ¼ cup of the mixture into the pan, flatten slightly, and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: Drain and Repeat

Transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with remaining mixture.
