There’s a reason Amish cooking endures: it’s honest, hearty, and deeply satisfying, made with pantry staples and a generous hand. These Amish Onion Fritters are a perfect example—thinly sliced onions bound in a light, golden batter, fried to crisp perfection, and kissed with just enough sweetness to balance their savory soul.
Served hot from the skillet with a sprinkle of sea salt, they’re irresistible on their own—but even better paired with apple butter, sour cream, or alongside fried chicken or pork chops. And despite their golden, restaurant-worthy look, they’re shockingly easy to make with just 5 ingredients and one bowl.
Let’s bring a taste of Amish country comfort to your kitchen—no buggy required.
