How to Make Haystack Onions
- Peel and trim 2 large yellow onions.
- If using a country cutter, carefully feed the onion into the cutter and crank to create a continuous thin spiral. If using a mandoline, carefully slice the onions into very thin rounds or use the julienne setting for long thin strips.
- Separate the onion strands to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion strands to the hot oil, spreading them out in a single layer.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and crispy, about 10-15 minutes. Do not overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary.
- Season generously with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your unbelievably crispy haystack onions!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
