Fried corn is a favorite vegetable side, made from fresh corn cut off the cob and fried in butter and bacon grease in a cast iron skillet. It's one of my favorite vegetable sides and I look forward to it each year.
Place corn in a bowl or pan in the sink and run a sharp knife down the cob to remove the kernels. Scrape starch and "goody" out of remaining kernels for unique texture and flavor.
Heat a skillet over medium heat, add bacon grease and butter, add corn, salt and pepper, reduce heat to medium low, stir frequently, cook for 20-30 minutes, add remaining butter.
"Just like my grandmom and great-grammy used to make. But they would cook the bacon in the skillet, remove bacon and just toss in a half stick of butter, let it melt just a little then add the corn they’d just picked" -Rebbie
