I'm always interested in trying a new recipe for corn fritters, this one included! However, I did change one thing in that I didn't peel the potatoes ~ What can I say, but that we like the peel! Instead, I diced the 'tatters small so there weren't any big pieces of peel & went from there! REALLY, REALLY NICE TASTING, & with the Thai sweet chili sauce THEY ARE OUTSTANDING! Definitely a keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's Pick A Chef]
