Parsnip and sweet corn fritters with sour cream are a delicious and nutritious dish that combines the natural sweetness of corn with the earthy flavor of parsnips. Perfect for a quick lunch or a light dinner, these fritters are easy to prepare and sure to please both kids and adults.
Ingredients
- 2 large parsnips, grated
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
- Sour cream for serving
Preparation Steps
Start by peeling and grating the parsnips. Place the grated parsnips in a clean cloth and squeeze out excess moisture. In a large bowl, combine the parsnips, sweet corn, flour, eggs, and parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Using a spoon, scoop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, pressing lightly to flatten into fritters. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the fritters hot, topped with a dollop of sour cream. They also pair well with a fresh green salad or a tangy dipping sauce. For a more substantial meal, add some cooked chicken or a fried egg on top.
