Fried to golden perfection in a cast-iron skillet, they’re a delicious cross between a fritter and a hush puppy, with sweet, bold onions taking center stage. They’re crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and when served with the creamy, tangy dipping sauce, they become the kind of appetizer no one can resist. “These are pockets of deliciousness,” our test kitchen staff shared. “Just so, so good!” Cook Mode (Keep screen awake) Ingredients 1x 2x 4x Oops!
