Since moving abroad I’ve been on a plane more times than I care to think about.
I think before we moved I’d maybe flown less than 20 times in my entire life, but I think I’ve flown 20 times in the last 3 months!
I’ve become more familiar with airports than I thought was possible, and feel I’ve mastered the art of traveling on hand luggage only and going through security like a boss.
But airport food sucks. It’s expensive, it’s often a bit blah, and it’s just boring.
And let’s face it, no one REALLY likes traveling that much, so not even getting to eat anything nice during the process just makes everything less enjoyable.
Then on one, magical morning at Gatwick Airport, I had these spicy sweetcorn and potato fritters, and I knew I had to recreate them.
It was like a light bulb switched on in my head at 7 am and suddenly the rest of my journey didn’t seem so bad! So here they are, my new favorite breakfast/brunch/snack – enjoy!

Spicy Sweetcorn and Potato Fritters
Ingredients
- 2 potatoes medium, grated
- 1 sweetcorn
- 1 red pepper diced
- 1 red chili medium, diced
- coriander chopped, small handful
- lime juice half a lime
- 2 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1 egg
- salt and pepper for seasoning.
Instructions
- Finely dice the red pepper and chilli. Grate the potato on a large hole grater and cut the sweetcorn off the cob. Mix everything in a large bowl. Finely chop the coriander and add this to the bowl along with the flour.
- Toss everything so it is evenly coated in flour. Beat the egg and add to the mixture with the lime juice and stir so everything is coated. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal parts and place in a large frying pan with a little olive oil on a medium heat. Press each fritter down gently with the back of a spoon or a spatula once it is in the pan to encourage it to bind together. Cook for 2 minutes then gently flip over and cook for 2 minutes on the other side.

Sweet corn is one of my favorite things in a fritter — like little jewels of sweetness among the savory! And you are so right about traveling… it would be so much better if there were good food along the way. I get that airport food is super expensive and lame because people are trapped there and pretty much don’t have other options, but yeesh… wouldn’t it be nice if all airports had food this good!
