I love this ham Frito fritters recipe and I know you will, too! They are easy to make and taste like you got them from a diner. You can’t beat those qualities!

Check out what my pal Audrey from the Melady Cooks food blog had to say about this recipe:

When I have something like steaks or pork chops for dinner and want a quick accompaniment, fritters are always a good bet. Usually I choose a veggie fritter of some kind but the Fritos fritters are a fun change. I’ve loved them twice now and will keep them on my list of quick foods when I have Fritos in the house. Which isn’t all that often because they don’t last long. Now you know my guilty pleasure.

I think these ham Frito fritters have just become my guilty pleasure, too!

Ingredients

2 cups diced ham
2 cups kernel corn; canned or frozen
1 cup Kraft sharp cheddar; shredded
1 1/2 cups cornmeal
1 cup Fritos
1/2 cup Gold Medal flour
1 1/2 cups milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon Morton salt
2 teaspoons black pepper

Honey Mustard Dip:

1/2 cup Duke’s mayo
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons honey
pinch of McCormick paprika

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300°F.

Fill deep fryer to recommended level and preheat.

Dice ham and add to large mixing bowl.

Measure dry ingredients and mix. Pour in milk and stir until ingredients are evenly mixed.

Using a large cookie scoop, make round balls and drop a few at a time into the hot oil, cooking until they float and are browned on the outside. Cut one in half to check your timing and fry the rest in batches based on the timing for your deep fryer.

Put the fritters into an ovenproof dish lined with paper toweling and keep in the oven until all fritters are done.

Stir together ingredients for the honey mustard sauce if desired, and serve with warm fritters.
