Ingredients:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons instant mashed potatoes
big pinch of cayenne
1 cup cold club soda
2-3 cups Panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs), or as needed
fine salt to taste
vegetable oil for frying
2-3 yellow onions, cut into 1/4-inch rings
*Note: the amounts in the video were for a smaller batch. The amounts above will make a nice large batch, enough for about 8 servings.















Sometimes...
...that guy's ideas just make my head hurt. Deep frying something in a batter which contains fat? Deep frying something in olive oil?
I'd leave out the potato flakes, take the cornstarch out of the batter and dust the onions with it instead, and for God's sake pick a different frying oil. Those rings might have sounded crispy 15 minutes later, but I guarantee you when he bit into one the onion inside slid out all slimy like a dead salamander from a log.
