Spicy Black Eyed Pea Fritters

• 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 whole Egg
• 15 ounces, weight Canned Black Eyed Peas, Drained, Rinsed, And Mashed With A Fork
• 1 whole Jalapeno, Diced
• 13 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• 1/4 teaspoons Salt
• 1/4 teaspoons Black Pepper
• 3 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
2. In the bottom of a large mixing bowl, lightly beat your egg with a fork.
3. Add mashed black eyed peas, jalapeno, cheese, salt, pepper, and flour and stir until well-mixed.
4. With a large spoon, scoop mixture and drop into the hot skillet (I fit 3 at a time into my skillet).
5. Flatten the mounds slightly with the spoon and cook 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip fritters and cook another 1-2 minutes.
7. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and cook the rest of the fritters the same way.
