Ingredients:

  • 2 medium potatoes (I used washed potatoes and left the skin on)
  • 1 small brown onion, finely diced
  • ½ cup corn kernels, fresh or tinned
  • 1 cup tightly packed zucchini, grated
  • 1 cup wholemeal flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsn olive oil

Method:

Grate potatoes then squeeze out excess starch with your hands over the sink.

Add to large mixing bowl followed by remaining ingredients except the oil, adding milk slowly- stir to combine then rest covered for 30 minutes.

Heat a large frying pan to medium-hot, add the olive oil and place spoonfuls of the mixture in. Cook until golden brown on each side.

Notes

  • If you plan on eating the fritters all in one go, turn the oven on to low heat and place the cooked ones on a tray and place in the oven to keep warm.
  • The paprika is optional but if you are interested in introducing spices to your kids, adding a mild spice at an early age makes it easier to introduce stronger flavours as they get older.
  • These also freeze really well, just wrap individually in cling wrap. When you’re ready to eat them, preheat oven to 190°C, place on a tray and heat for approx 10 minutes from frozen.
