Fried Polenta Cheese Fritters

These fried polenta cheese fritters offer a delightful contrast between a crisp, golden exterior and a beautifully soft, savoury centre. By combining traditional yellow cornmeal with the mellow, nutty flavour of Edam cheese, this vegetarian dish transforms simple cupboard staples into an impressive snack or side dish. The addition of a little sugar to the batter helps the fritters caramelise perfectly in the frying pan, resulting in a rich colour and a satisfying crunch that makes them completely moreish.

Ideal for entertaining, these homemade fritters can be prepared well in advance and kept in the fridge until you are ready to fry. Serve them as a tasty appetiser alongside a spicy tomato relish or as a gluten-free alternative to traditional breadcrumbs. Their bite-sized shape makes them particularly popular at dinner parties or as a comforting family treat that is best enjoyed hot and freshly seasoned with a garnish of bright, flat-leaf parsley.
