Crispy Corn Cakes




These are really great when watching a movie, or just as an afternoon snack. If you want yours extra corny, use 2/3 a can of corn instead of 1/2 a can.

serves 4

2 medium potatoes, peeled
1/2 a can of corn
1 egg
Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire or A1 sauce
corn starch or corn flour
5 cups of oil, for deep-frying
salt and pepper

Boil the potatoes in salted water for 20 minutes. Remove and mash in a large bowl. Add the corn, 1 egg, a dash of Tabasco sauce and the Worcestershire/A1 sauce. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.

Shape the mixture into small chunks (see picture above). Put some corn starch in a bowl and coat the chunks in the flour. Heat the oil in a saucepan. Carefully drop the chunks in and fry for a few minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and place on some paper towels. Enjoy!
