Kittencal's Onion Patties/Latkes

These were very good. I didn't have any green onion so I didn't put that in. As I was making it, I realized that I was pretty much making onion rings except the onions were chopped up and not in rings. I will never make onion rings again, cause these were much easier and faster - yet tasted the same. I also made a spicy dip to go with them by mixing Miracle Whip, horseradish, and cayenne pepper together. It tasted like the sauce at the restaurants for their onion blossoms.

I needed to find a way to use up masses of green onions I chopped for anther recipe, but didn't use. I've made these exactly as written before and have them 5 stars. Decided I could use kittencals recipe as a base. So, used all green onions, and all I had was rice milk, so that's what I used. I had a little cold white rice in the fridge, so just sprinkled 1/4 cup in too. Followed the rest of the recipe as written. It was great. Might just use rice milk again and save a few calories! Hee hee..not that a few calories will matter in this wonderful fried recipe.

These were quite good a little pancake like another reviewer mentioned but probably that was because of how much batter was used in relation to onion. They still didn't get as crispy as I would have liked but again I think that may have been the amount of batter. I made them gluten free using Recipe #256259. I think the green onion would have been good in these and would add it if I make these again. I used regular white/yellow cooking onions, white sugar, gf baking powder, garlic salt, pinch cayenne, plain rice milk, & canola oil.

Great recipe; I tried popping these in the oven as another reviewer had suggested (15 minutes on one side, then 10 minutes on the other). To my dismay, the batter felt thin when I spooned them onto the cool, oiled baking sheet. Upon turning them, I found that the oil hadn't been absorbed and rather clung onto the patties, which felt more like crepes with their thin edges. Once the patties were done cooking, I popped them onto a hot skillet; that helped a bit with the texture. As I would like to limit the calorie intake in my household, I think I'll try the baked version again but up the flour content and shorten the baking time and finish cooking on a skillet next time. Also, I found the patties a tad sweet for my taste (I did not use sweet onions - not easy to find in my new home above the Arctic Circle) so I might lower the sugar by 1/2 a tablespoon next time.

I can't eat onion very well, but I had a small taste and they were delicious. Instead of chopping the onions by hand, I put them in the food processor. I think this caused more liquid to be released, so my batter was a little thin. If you do use the food processor, I would recommend draining the onions first before adding to batter.
