Frizzled Onion

1. 1

   Very thinly slice onion lengthwise with slicer.

2. 2

   Heat 2 inches oil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until thermometer registers 340F, then fry onion in 6 batches, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per batch (watch closely; onion can burn easily).

3. 3

   Quickly transfer each batch with a slotted spoon to fresh paper towels to drain, then sprinkle lightly with salt.

4. 4

   (Onion will crisp as it cools.)

5. 5

   Return oil to 340F between batches.
