In the mood to become addicted?

Fried Pickled Onions are the appetizer you had no idea you needed.

If you’re still resolutioning – take a little break from all that and make these.

Fried pickled onions.

Just trust me.

Then you can go right back to what you were doing with your Atkins or whatever it is you’re resolutioning with.

They’re worth it, I promise, and unresolutioning for a minute won’t really change your life, even significantly.

Pinky swear. 

I don’t really remember what made me want to pickle onions other than the fact that I have random ideas when it comes to food, but they really are insanely delicious.

As a matter of fact, my most crazy, random (usually late at night) ideas end up being the best. 

What To Do With Fried Pickled Onions

I put these on a burger and OMG.

Other than putting them on burgers, I also dipped them in Ranch, buffalo sauce (I used Moore’s, of course) and this white cheese dip made with Cabot’s superior cheese.

Ranch.

Buffalo Wing.

White cheese.
