This is one of my favorite dishes. My grandmother used to fix this all the time. She used white silver queen corn and added heavy cream instead of milk. It was always so great. I miss her, no one can fix it the way she did.

DELICIOUS Fried Corn, very easy, I added red, green, yellow Bell peppers along with the Bacon I used to fry the corn in, crumbled it into little bitty pieces. Very Good. Sharing with my neighbors where I live, and of course my Darling Tarzan. He loves my cooking. Thank you Paula I'm aiming right at his Heart. My Neighbors love it too. So do I, You're the BEST. D

I used this recipe out of the Paula Deen Magazine I picked up at the store and it varies slightly from this one. The one in the magazine called for 1 tsp pepper and salt and sugar and 1/2 cup water which I didn't like using the water because then the corn would not fry once you put the water in. It called for way to much pepper, it was very hot and my kids would not eat it. I think I will try this recipe again from this website instead of the magazine.

I made this the other day with lunch, and my family loved it! It gives the corn a whole different taste.

My Mama grew up here in Arkansas and my sister and I were raised in Michigan. My mama passed away about 10 years ago and my sister and I moved back to Arkansas 5 years later. My mama cooked just like you cook!! Unfortunately she never share her 'down home' recipes with us girls. So, we've had to try to re-create some of her dishes from our memories of how they tasted. This recipe is something she cooked on a regular basis. Neither I nor my sister have every come close to re-creating it until I found this on your site!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! The only difference in her and your recipe is along with the fresh corn, she added a can of cream style corn and a flour/water roux for thickening; stirred and scorched it a little so that there were flecked of blackening from the cast iron skillet in it. AND WE LOVED IT. My sister recently moved back 'up north'. I can't wait til Thanksgiving when I go to Illinois and cook this for her just like our Mama did.
