How to Make French Fried Onions
- Thinly slice one large yellow onion (about 2 cups sliced).
- Soak the sliced onions in 1/2 cup of milk for 5 minutes. This helps to tenderize them.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil (or your preferred frying oil) in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Working in batches, gently dredge handfuls of the milk-soaked onions in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Carefully add the floured onions to the hot oil. Fry, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 3-5 minutes per batch).
- Remove the fried onions with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Season immediately with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Store cooled onions in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
