Jalapeno Cheddar Hushpuppies

What’s a big platter of freshly fried oyster without some hushpuppies?  Um, yes please.

Little fried balls oozing with cheese with a kick from Jalapeno.  Love bites.

Growing up our neighbor made the best hushpuppies – light, airy he made them by the hundreds.  He always sent us over a few dozen, they never lasted long.

I can only hope these are just as good as his were, but I did have to add my own personal spin on them.

Chile.

No surprise.
