Slice 2 large white onions as thinly as possible and place them in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, combine 1 to 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Mix the dry ingredients together.

Add the sliced onions to the flour mixture and coat them well, preferably using your hands.

Start adding mineral water or sparkling water gradually while mixing until the mixture becomes sticky.

Preheat cooking oil to around 355°F for frying.

Form small balls of the onion mixture and carefully place them in the hot oil, ensuring they are separated.

Fry the fritters for about 1.5 minutes on each side, flipping them 2-3 times until they are crispy and golden brown.

Remove the fritters and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.

Prepare a ranch dip by mixing 16 oz of plain Greek yogurt with fresh chives, fresh dill, and ranch dip seasoning mix, and let it chill in the fridge while frying the fritters.

Garnish the fritters with fresh parsley before serving.
