Fried Grits

[Dodgy Loner]

Don't throw out those leftover grits. Just pour them into a bread pan and stick them in the fridge until they set up. Then slice into 1/2"-3/4" thick slices and bread them in flour, salt, and pepper.



Pour 1/2" of vegetable oil into a pan and heat it up so it's hot enough but not too hot.



Cook until they're golden brown on one side, then flip them over until the other side is done.



Mmmm....Suppertime! digin_2

My wife and I like them with ketchup. You can mix cheese into the grits before you pour them into the bread pan for fried cheese grits. Yum!

[Magicman]

Yum is correct Dodgy.  We also slice and fry day old cornbread.  Matter of fact, anything Southern is good fried.   :D

Some people eat worms some grits neither is right. :D

I had pintos, catfish, hush puppies and collards yesterday for lunch.....

[Dodgy Loner]

Replace the pintos with cheese grits and you'd have a decent meal ;)

[Axe Handle Hound]

A question for grits-loving Southerners....is there a particular type of corn that makes the best grits?  Not being a grits officiando myself I'm just curious if there's a traditional variety of corn that makes the best grits or maybe there's a particular grind? 

[thecfarm]

Makes the best grits???????? How do figure that one??????????  :D

[Texas Ranger]

Grits is grits.  Where they shine is with ham, eggs, home fries, red eye gravy, biscuits, and coffee early on a cool morning.

All restaurant serve white grits, but we prefer yellow.  We also prefer yellow cornmeal for cornbread.

Bill, Hushpuppies are made from cornmeal and are essentially grits.  Just cooked differently.   ;D

   Name all the things that is made from ground corn
   1 hand cleaner
   2 fried cornbread
     

[Dodgy Loner]

Ours are stone-ground yellow grits from a small grist mill in North Georgia. It has been running continuously since the late 1800s. Any grits is good grits, but yellow grits is better grits. And stone-ground is even better

Not these they were made from something else like a corn fritter and sweet.  :D Plus they were good :D :D

[Bogue Chitto]

I would put some butter and cane syrup on those.

[thecfarm]

I have been dethroned by coxy.  :( 

[Magicman]

Wonder how many of the bashers are bashing something that they have never actually tasted  ???

Quaker brand grits is the only thing I can find in stores around here, which is white grits.  I was under the impression that it is ground homony corn.  I found myself in Rock Hill, South Carolina this last February, and driving  home I was looking for a good breakfast place to sample some local grits.  I finally ended up at Denny's, where they could have paid a little more attention when they were cooking their white grits, and geeze, do add a little salt.

I just got off a fried grits kick.  Now I boil them one breakfast at a time.

We've got a mill near here at Spring Mill state park, where they mill corn and sell corn meal, but I think that's too fine for grits, isn't it?

[thecfarm]

This basher has tasted.  ;)  There is a post somewheres about that bad day in thecfarm's life.  ;D

[sawguy21]

I tried them at Denny's, only place I have seen them north of 49. Not overly impressed, sorta like canned cream corn. Probably instant and nuked.

[Magicman]

We can not get Quaker yellow grits anymore. 


 
This is the brand that is available in our stores.  I never put anything but salt, pepper, and butter on my grits.  Well OK, sometimes a couple of medium fried eggs on top goes mighty well.

Growing up, many times a bowl of grits was the only thing between us and hungry.  Sometimes when Mom would not have any grits, she cooked cornmeal and called it mush.  I never really cared for mush, but again, we had to eat something.

[Paul_H]

We eat Bob's Red Mill too.Good alongside fried ham and eggs and butter.
Going to try the fried grits.

[Raider Bill]

It's sad to say that my Son  [wildbill] actually likes them and ordered them and ate them once in front of me.  I'm thinking it's from his mothers side. :
He's really a good guy except for that..

[Magicman]

Say what you will about the South and it's food, but no one retires and moves to the North.   :D
