We call these "gritters" in our house, but I did not want to confuse you, I just want to introduce you to something delicious! I'm not a huge fan of eating grits with a spoon from a bowl, but I do love these rolled up versions. These fritters are super creamy on the inside and crispy on the outside. They are awesome little snacks, and great appetizers for parties.

Best looking appetizer I've seen in a while! I do something very similar with rice. But these... these look so good! Thanks for posting!
Ooo I love rice ones, as well. You're so welcome!
Just shared this with hubby!! YUM!!! I adore grits and this takes them to a new level!! When you are doing a cook book???? I want an autographed copy!! You have my vote!
YAY! I'm working on one, I really am! You will get your copy :D Thanks for reading and trying my recipes on here-- really makes me happy!
I tried these today, making the grits mixture up hours ahead of time and letting it sit in the fridge until ready to roll the balls and cook, which was convenient. Only changes made were omitting the corn, using chives instead of onions because that's what I had on hand and using paprika instead of chili powder for personal preference.
FANTASTIC!! I love a good success story! Excellent that it worked well with your substitutions. :D
How cute Attosa that you call those "gritters" at home hehehe
I had my "first grits" about a month ago, never had eaten them before, and got them accidentally actually from a grocery store order, and they're good.
And now to see YOUR recipe using the (I think the same kind, instant grits - Quaker Oats brand?) I now have another way to
prepare them. I really like what you've done with them.
Your picture is beautiful of your Grit Fritters, and I'm sure with the crunchy outside and the dipping sauce, they're extra yummy!
Thank you for the recipe Attosa!
Suz!! Yes to the Quaker Oats! Are we twinning again? I think so! My very first grits was exactly a year ago on a hot summer trip to Las Vegas. I thought I was the only one who had not had them until my adult life!
Attosa :) YES, we really are "twinning again", hehehe
Too funny also that you thought you were the only one who'd not had grits, *I thought the same about myself too* like where have I been, and I don't know why I hadn't had them, haha :)
Yes, we'll have these soon, and I know you're right that we'll enjoy them. High five Attosa!!! :) hehe
How do you like to have them now? If I'm going to have them from a bowl, it has to be with lots of cheese :D and probably corn kernels :D Okay, I just want them as fritters ! ! ! ! ! ! !
These sound yummy!
Will have to give these a try very soon.
Are you sure you're not from "down south"??
Hahaha I am sure but now that I'm making southern foods, I want to get acquainted with more of these types of ingredients. YUM!!!
How about fried cornbread?
NEVER. HAD. :o
I'm going to try to make that ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
looks so yummy.. you never fail to amaze me .. very nicely done as always!
Aw thank you, Katrine! These are definitely one of my favourite treats! :)
