About This Recipe
Appetizing, tender, and crispy fried onions for hot dogs—how to prepare them at home so that they are no worse than the branded ones used to sprinkle on the "Danish" fried sausage in a bun? Of course, you can buy them in a store if you look hard enough, but such a product is unlikely to be free of preservatives, colorings, and flavor enhancers. So, no need to buy crispy or fried onions from the store: they are not difficult to make yourself, and you can even make them in advance. It's important for them to be well-fried and dried out. Crispy onions according to our recipe can easily be stored in a sealed container for a week at room temperature. And even longer in the refrigerator. If they lose a bit of their crunch, you can warm them up for a couple of minutes in a dry pan before using them—then they will be as good as new. These crispy onions are suitable not only for hot dogs but also for many other dishes—potato puree and dumplings with potatoes, green salads and side dishes with green beans, they will also enhance baked fish, pizza, and risotto.

Preparation Steps
Step 1
Peel the onion and cut into very thin quarter rings or thin strips. Place the onion in a large plastic container with a tight-fitting lid, add 1 tsp. salt. Close the container and shake thoroughly. Leave for 10–15 minutes. Shake the onion occasionally.
Step 2
Mix flour with starch and paprika, add a pinch of salt. Drain any liquid from the onions. Pour the starch-flour mixture into the container, close it again with a lid and shake - so that the breading is evenly distributed over the onion straws without forming lumps.
Step 3
In a deep fryer or deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil to a temperature of 150–160ºС. If you don’t have a special thermometer, it doesn’t matter. You can check the readiness of the deep fryer by dipping one slice of onion into it: it should immediately be picked up by sizzling bubbles.
Step 4
Deep fry the onion in two to three batches, carefully shaking off any excess flour. Don't load everything at once: the more space you have in the pan, the more evenly the onions will cook, gain more crunch, and absorb less oil. Fry without stopping stirring.
Step 5
When the onions turn golden brown, remove them with a slotted spoon to a sieve to allow the oil to drain. Then transfer to paper napkins to finally get rid of excess oil. Let the onion fries cool. It can be used immediately, or you can make it in reserve for several days.
