Notes
Tips for BEST Results:Make sure oil is heated to hot before adding the onions for the crispiest onions. You can test the oil by sprinkling in a bit of flour. If it bubbles immediately, it’s ready.Slice the onions as thin as possible. If cutting by hand, making sure your knife is sharp will make it easier. Another option for thin onions is to use a mandolin if you have one.Serve up the onions hot! If the burgers are still cooking when they are done, hold them in a warm oven to keep them hot. Or reheat in the oven for a couple minutes just before serving.
