Onion rings are incredibly easy to make, and they are definitely much less fussy than homemade fries. All you have to do is slice them, dunk them in a quick batter, and fry ’em up. You can serve them as an appetizer with a dip (ranch dressing always proves popular) or as a side with practically anything. pretty amazing fries. I prefer to use Vidalia onions when they’re available, but any sweet onion will do.
