Ingredients:
3 large potatoes, well washed and coarsely grated
250 g lean ham, cut into thin strips
420 g can creamed corn
4 spring onions or 1 medium onion, finely
chopped
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 medium carrots, coarsely grated
100 g (3/4 cup) reduced fat, grated cheddar
cheese
2 eggs
2 cups self raising flour
½ cup reduced fat milk
Salt and freshly ground pepper or curry
powder to taste
Makes 16 large fritters
Method:
Place all ingredients into a large
bowl. Stir together until combined. The mixture will be quite stiff in texture.
Season with some salt, pepper or curry
powder.
Heat a large heavy based frying pan,
lightly cover base with olive oil spray.
Add a large tablespoons of mixture to
the pan, cook over medium heat, pressing down each fritter with the back of a
spatula until golden brown and cooked through. Turn over and brown other side.
Keep warm in a low oven at 100 C until
all are cooked if you can stop them being eaten!
Serve with any salsa or sauce of your
choice.
Tips:
I serve these for an easy meal or
snack, or whenever there are hungry kids to feed.
I replace the ham with small cubes of
cold corned beef if there is any leftover in the fridge or you could use canned
ham.
Great when washed down with a glass of
milk or juice.
