Crispy Fried Onions
Description
It works both for a holiday and for everyday meals. For preparation, white onion is best—it is less bitter and pungent in taste, but if you don't have that variety, yellow onion will work too. Choose breadcrumbs that are not whole-grain, so the dish will be more golden and fluffy. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.

Step 4
In a kazan or saucepan with a non-stick bottom, heat the vegetable oil until it boils, and only then add 2–3 rings at a time to the oil, frying until done for about 1–2 minutes. In unheated oil, all the batter will fall off the rings and the oil will smoke!
