Can You Fry Grits?

Idk why this dawned on me, but has anyone ever fried grits? Would it be possible to cook them 95% of the way in a pot like normal and then once you're done with your bacon and have a skillet full of drippings just tossing the grits in for a quick fry, kinda like fried rice.
Would this thicken it up, absorb all the flavor and give it a nice crunch in spots or would it ruin them?
I don't consider myself a food inovator at all so I'm assuming this doesn't work or everyone would already do it as it seems like it could be an epic gamechanger!

Lots of people fry grits.
here are some I did with scallops
If you get to Lower Alabama (beach), try Fisherman's corner under the perdido key bridge on highway 292
He makes fried grits balls served with his shrimp and grits - Wonderful.

I bought some of that organic grits from whole foods recently and on the package it had a recipe for doing this. I think the brand was Hodgson Mills or something like that.
So, yes, you can fry grits.
here it is just fry when you are done

Cook grits in pot. Refrigerate said cooked grits. Cut in to desired pieces. Plop in deep-fryer/onto hot skillet w butter. Eat

It's called polenta in Italy.

Cook your grits like normal then pour them on a sheet pan and throw in the fridge. Once they're cold cut them to shape and fry them until golden and crispy(3-4 minutes). Tastes kinda like popcorn with a nice soft center.

Cook grits, place into a bit of plastic wrap and roll it up into a tubular shape, let it cool in fridge to set, slice it into round slices and toss into a frying pan, and you have homemade fried polenta. BOOM. Use yellow grits preferrably.
