These fritters are a great way to use up leftover corn. I had some leftover from a cookout and these fritters were the perfect way to use it up.

These fritters are a great appetizer or side dish. I served them with a dollop of sour cream and they were a hit.

I added a bit of shredded cheddar cheese to my fritters and they were amazing! I highly recommend it.

I didn't have any fresh jalapeños on hand, so I used a jar of diced jalapeños. They worked just fine.

These fritters were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the perfect combination of heat and flavor.

I was a bit hesitant to try these because I'm not a big fan of jalapeños, but I'm so glad I did! The heat from the jalapeños was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the corn. I'll definitely be making these again.

These fritters were a hit at my party! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with just the right amount of heat from the jalapeños. I'll definitely be making these again.
