The Amish buddy of mine came with these folks to our last potluck and everybody was all over them!

ou know, there’s something about traditional recipes that just fills the home with comfort, and Amish Onion Fritters with Fresh Herbs are no exception. Rooted in the simplicity and resourcefulness of Amish cooking, these fritters are born from staple ingredients yet burst with the kind of rich, wholesome flavor that only homemade can deliver. Folk used to make these fritters when there was little to waste and much creativity in the kitchen. You’d often find the air in Midwest kitchens seasoned with the sizzle of fritters frying on a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet. Why might one be tempted to make such a dish? Well, darlin’, they’re the perfect combination of easy and delightful – just the ticket when you’re hankering for some down-home comfort or need an appetizer that’ll charm any neighbor’s taste buds.

Pair these aromatic golden beauties with a rustic dollop of sour cream or an herbaceous buttermilk ranch dip to add a cool, creamy counterpoint. They’re just lovely alongside a crisp, garden-fresh salad, or you could set them out with a plate of sliced heirloom tomatoes dressed with just a sprinkle of salt and a kiss of vinegar. They offer up a delightful crunch as a side to a velvety soup or add a comforting note to a classic meatloaf dinner.
