Add some heat and zing to juicy corn fritters by lacing the mixture with our Mexican Fiesta spice blend, plus fresh lime zest and coriander.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut sweet potato into fries. • Place fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the fries between two trays.

• In a large frying pan, heat enough olive oil to coat the base over medium-high heat. • When oil is hot, add heaped tablespoons of fritter mixture in batches and flatten with a spatula. Cook until golden, 3-4 minutes each side (don't flip too early!). • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. You should get 3-4 fritters per person.

TIP: Add extra olive oil between batches as needed.

• In a small bowl, combine light sour cream and a good squeeze of lime juice. • Divide Mexican fritters, sweet potato fries and smokey slaw between plates. • Garnish with reserved coriander. Serve with lime sour cream and any remaining lime wedges. Enjoy!
