French Fried Onions Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 large onions, sliced into thin rings
• 2 cups milk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste (Optional)
• 1 pinch onion powder, or to taste (Optional)
• 1 pinch ground white pepper, or to taste (Optional)
• Salt to taste
• Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

1. Soak the sliced onions in milk for 5 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, white pepper, and salt.
3. Take a handful of onions and toss them in the flour mixture until they are well-coated. Repeat this process for the remaining onions, adding them one handful at a time.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium heat.
5. Fry the onions in batches. Stir them occasionally to ensure they cook evenly. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Once fried, remove the onions and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
7. Season with additional salt to taste while the onions are still hot.
8. Store the fried onions in an airtight for later use.

Cooks Note

If you're making a smaller batch, you can scale the ingredients down. For example, try using just 1 onion with cup of milk and 1 cup of flour. This is perfect for when you only need a small amount for one dish. Be warned, though you might end up eating more than you planned!
