Shoe String Onion Rings with Garlic Mayo

These crispy crunchy shoe string onions are so good! They taste sweet and crunchy with a background hint of salt and spice. I think I could eat a whole plateful myself! They are delicious as a snack or if you can resits eating them you could add them to a steak sandwich. Oh yes that is pure heaven!!!!!
