Homemade French Fried Onions

Ingredients

• 3 cups thinly sliced onions (about 3 small onions)

• 1 cup milk

• 1 cup flour

• 1 teaspoon salt

• Oil for frying

---

Directions

1. Prep the onions: Soak the sliced onions in milk for 5 minutes, then drain. In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Toss the onions in the flour mixture until coated, shaking off any excess.

2. Fry until crispy: Heat at least 1 inch of oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Fry the onions in small batches, avoiding overcrowding so they cook evenly. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and crisp up.

Yields: About 3 cups
