I grew up in a family that fried everything. I’m talking fried fish, fried chicken, fried fritters. If it could be fried, we fried it. Maybe not the healthiest way to grow up, but definitely gave me an appreciate for State Fair food as an adult. Something else it gave me was an appreciate for truly delicious recipes that will blow people’s minds. Onion patties are one of those.
While everyone has heard of onion rings before, my favorite friend onion was always the patty. Onion patties as a side for meatloaf…yum. Throw one on a thick bun with a hamburger, some fresh lettuce, and a sliced juicy red tomato? We’re talking change your life delicious. These are so simple to make, and after you’ve made them, you’ll find yourself craving them all the time. They’re seriously that good.

The best thing I have bad in a long time!!!!!!
I also made them with garlic they were alright.
Then I tried hot sauce and they were very tasty
I left out the salt in all three tries on kinda of salt free diet.
A+ These were so good! We all liked them!! Such a great idea too. The flavor was perfect!
I used just 1 tsp of salt and I fried them in avocado oil. Turned out wonderful! Easy, quick, and homemade!!! Thank you so much for this recipe!
Just made these.. after I chopped the onions I sautéed them because I was afraid they would be raw. Then I made the batter and added the onions.
I would only add one teaspoon of salt and less sugar. I found these way to salty but other wise dee-lish
Can these be made with a gluten free flour?
Can you freeze them ahead
Where do you add the beer…. I always eat beer battered onion rings… lol
LOL Whenever you add the beer to your onion rings!
In between bites…..lol
Can’t wait to try these…Thanks so much!
These onion patties sound delicious, can’t wait to try this patty.
These were good but I feel there was too much salt. I will make them again but I will cut back on the salt.
Exactly what I thought. Maybe a bit too much sugar too.
