Easy Corn Fritters with Spicy Mayo

By margiekyle

Ingredients

• 4 ears corn, kernels stripped
• 1/2 red onion, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1/4 c. all-purpose flour, plus more if necessary
• kosher salt
• Black pepper
• 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 tbsp. mayonnaise
• 2 tsp. Hot sauce

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine corn, onion, garlic, and cayenne and stir together well. Add beaten eggs and stir, then add flour. Season with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Using your hands, form corn mixture into small patties. (If mixture feels too thin, add more flour, one tablespoon at a time.) Cook fritters until crisp and golden, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool.
In a small bowl, stir together mayo and hot sauce. Serve fritters with spicy mayo.
