Crispy Corn and French Fry Fritters

1.Start by preparing the french fries. Cut the peeled potatoes into thin strips and soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.

2.In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat for frying the fries. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the potato strips in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.

3.In a mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, flour, cornmeal, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

4.In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be thick but not dry. If it's too thick, add a little more milk.

5.Heat a skillet with vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the corn batter into the skillet, flattening them slightly to form fritters. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6.Serve the crispy corn fritters alongside the french fries for a delicious snack or appetizer. Enjoy!
