From fresh yellow corn, or mixed white. This fried dish is very sweet and the only way I like my corn. I like to season with more salt and pepper before serving.

  • Prepare the corn: Remove the husks and silk from the corn. If desired, cut the corn kernels off the cob.
  • Use a hot pan: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add a little oil or butter to prevent the corn from sticking.
  • Cook the corn quickly: Cook the corn for just a few minutes, stirring frequently. This will prevent the corn from becoming tough.
  • Season to taste: Season the corn with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add chopped herbs, grated cheese, or crumbled bacon.
  • Serve immediately: Pan-fried sweet corn is best served hot and fresh. Enjoy it as a side dish, appetizer, or snack.
