The Method

1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and salt.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Jersey milk, egg, and melted Jersey butter.
3
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
4
Gently fold in the diced Jersey apples and mashed Jersey Royal potato.
5
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
6
Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7
Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
8
In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup of sugar and the cinnamon.
9
While the fritters are still warm, sprinkle them generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the batter.

If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. It should be thick enough to hold its shape when dropped into the oil.

Don't overcrowd the fryer, or the oil temperature will drop too low, resulting in greasy fritters.

The best apples for fritters are ones that hold their shape well when cooked, such as 'Jersey Mac' or 'Liberation'.

Serve with a scoop of Jersey dairy ice cream or a dollop of Jersey cream for an extra indulgent treat.
