A homemade alternative to the Durkee® brand. I use these for casserole recipes. I will never buy store-bought French fried onions again. This recipe makes a lot! I often just use one onion and about 1/2 cup of milk and 1 cup of flour with seasonings if I just want to use them for one dish. Warning: You may have to make what the original recipe calls for because they are so yummy and you won't be able to stop eating them!

Tips:

  • To achieve perfectly crispy French-fried onions, it's crucial to slice them thinly and evenly. This ensures they cook uniformly and become golden brown without burning.
  • To prevent the onions from clumping during frying, toss them in a mixture of flour, salt, and pepper before coating them in the egg wash. The flour coating helps create a barrier, preventing the onions from sticking together.
  • Use a large skillet or deep fryer to fry the onions in batches. This ensures they have enough space to cook evenly without overcrowding the pan.
  • Maintain a constant temperature of 350°F (175°C) for frying. This prevents the onions from burning or becoming soggy.
  • Fry the onions until they turn golden brown and crispy, usually taking around 3-4 minutes per batch. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can quickly burn.
  • Drain the fried onions on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving. This helps achieve a crispy texture and prevents them from becoming soggy.
  • For the mushroom recipe, choose fresh, firm mushrooms for the best flavor and texture.
  • Slice the mushrooms evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.
  • Use butter or a combination of butter and olive oil for frying the mushrooms. This adds richness and flavor to the dish.
  • Season the mushrooms generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder for a savory taste.
  • Cook the mushrooms over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly browned.

Conclusion:

French-fried onions and mushrooms are versatile side dishes that can elevate any meal with their crispy texture and savory flavors.
