Amish Onion Patties



Amish Onion Patties – reminiscent of onion rings in an easy-to-make and enjoy form! Dip in ketchup (a Dutchie favorite), salsa, ranch, etc. or just eat as it.

These reheat nicely and last in the fridge for several days (Maybe. They are so tasty leftovers are not guaranteed…)
