Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 corn cobbs
  • 1 brown onion grated
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup tapioca flour
  • 1/3 cup buckwheat flour
  • 3 spring onions thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt flakes
  • Cracked black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 400 grams potatoes
  • olive oil extra virgin for frying
Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • Remove the husks from both corn cobs. Stand one of the corn cobs up and use a knife to carefully slice off the corn kernels. Repeat with the second corn cob. Add the corn kernels to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the grated onion to a cheesecloth, nut milk bag or fine mesh sieve, hold over the sink and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Add to the mixing bowl.
  • To the bowl add the eggs, tapioca flour, buckwheat flour, spring onions, minced garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil.
  • Next, peel and grate the potatoes and place them in the fine mesh sieve, cheese cloth or nut milk bag. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starches and then squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Add to the bowl and use a fork to mix everything together until the fritter mixture is well combined. 
  • Bring a large frying pan to a medium heat. Once hot, add enough olive oil so that it covers the base of the pan. Add around ¼ cup batter to the pan, using a spoon to spread out so that it is 1cm thick. Add another 2-3 fritters to the pan, depending on the size of your pan.
  • Fry the fritters until golden on the bottom and then flip and fry until golden on the second side. Transfer to a large plate and repeat this process until all the batter has been fried into fritters.
  • Serve warm with your choice of toppings.
