INGREDIENTS

  • Dipping Sauce

    • 🥛 1/3 cup sour cream
    • 🥛 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
    • 🍅 1 tablespoon ketchup
    • 2 teaspoons horseradish
    • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

  • Onion Bites

    • 🧅 2 cups onions
    • 🧂 1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
    • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 tablespoon cornmeal
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    • 🥛 1/2 cup milk

  • Frying Oil

    • Vegetable oil, as needed for deep frying

STEPS

1

For the sauce, stir sour cream, mayonnaise, ketchup, and horseradish together in a small bowl. Taste and season with cayenne; refrigerate until needed.

2

Optional: Salt the diced onion to draw out moisture. Let stand for 15 minutes, rinse thoroughly, drain, and transfer to a dry bowl.

3

To the bowl with diced onions, add remaining salt, black pepper, cayenne, garlic powder, cornmeal, flour, and baking powder, and stir to combine. Pour in milk; stir until a very thick batter forms. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes.

4

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F (180°C). Line a plate with paper towels.

5

Drop batter by rounded tablespoons into hot oil. Fry until nicely browned and crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on the prepared plate.

6

Serve onion bites warm with dipping sauce.
