Kumara & Corn Fritters are a vegetarian dish that can be served as a snack or appetizer. These fritters are inspired by traditional corn fritters but with the addition of kumara (sweet potato). The combination of creamed corn, self-raising flour, and kumara makes these fritters moist, sweet, and slightly savory. The chives add a mild onion flavor that balances the sweetness of the kumara. These fritters are easy to make and can be served with sweet chili sauce or sour cream.

Instructions

1.	In a mixing bowl, add creamed corn, chives, self raising flour, milk, and egg yolk. Mix until combined.
2.	Fold in mashed kumara.
3.	In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white until soft peaks form.
4.	Gently fold egg white into the mixture.
5.	Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with butter or oil. Drop the spoonful dough into the pan and cook until golden brown on both sides. Repeat until the mixture is finished.
