Broccoli Potato Fritters and Corn Fritters

Broccoli Potato Fritters and Corn Fritters

So we went to Ikea yesterday (always a fun day!) and they were selling these potato fritters in the food section. They were cheap enough but I got thinking surely with such simple ingredients we could make our own…

When making the potato ones of course though, we were reminded of some corn fritters we’d had years ago at some festival in Dun Laoghaire and thought to try those too.

Ingredients for Broccoli Potato Fritters:

- 5 small potatoes, peeled

- 1 section of broccoli

- 2 spring onions

- 1 cup flour

- ½ cup water

- Herbs and spices (to taste); coriander, parsley, rosemary, pepper, garlic

1. Grate the peeled potatoes into a bowl. Add finely chopped broccoli and spring onion, along with spices.

2. Add flour and water and mix. Mixture should be wet but mouldable enough to make flat patties of about a handful or so of the mix each.

3. Place these patties onto a pan and fry on a medium heat until browned. Make sure to check the underside before flipping over – if not cooked enough it will just break.

Ingredients for Corn Fritters:

- 1 can sweetcorn

- ¾ cup flour

- ¼ cup water

- Herbs and spices (to taste): basil, coriander, black pepper

- 2 sundried tomatos (optional)

1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Make patties and fry as described above.
