  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or other flour of choice) Gluten-free flour can be used.
  • 1 whole chili or jalapeño (sliced, optional for heat)

  • 1/4-1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the boiled potatoes, sweet corn, grated carrot, chopped cilantro or chives, diced onion, vegan cheese, flour, sliced chili or jalapeño, minced garlic, salt, and ground pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Making the Dipping Sauce
  1. For a simple dipping sauce, mix equal parts tomato or banana ketchup with vegan mayo in a bowl. Adjust the amount based on your preference.
Cooking the Fritters
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little neutral oil. Once hot, take a spoonful of the fritter mixture and flatten it into the hot skillet.
  2. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Baking Option
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the fritters on it. Bake for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Air-Frying Option
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the fritters in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are golden and crispy.
Freezing the Fritters
  1. Prepare the fritters as directed but do not cook them. Lay them on a baking sheet and freeze until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag. When ready to eat, simply cook from frozen.

Notes

Make sure the potatoes are well-drained after boiling to avoid a watery mixture. Adjust the quantity of salt and spices according to your taste. Feel free to add other veggies like bell peppers or spinach to the fritter mix for added nutrition.
