Frizzled Onions

2 small onions -- very thinly sliced
2/3 cup vegetable oil
salt -- to taste

Heat oil in a small saucepan placed over medium-low heat. A slice of onion should just sizzle a bit when added to the hot oil. Add 1/2 of the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are a deep golden brown, about 7 - 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, salt to taste. Onions will be soft at first and will crisp up as they cool. Repeat with remaining onions.

Note: I like to serve some of them on top of a hamburger
