Preparation
- Step 1
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, heat oil until it registers 275 degrees on a deep-frying thermometer. Add shallots and cook, stirring, until light golden brown, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer shallots to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
- Step 2
Increase heat to high and place a fine-mesh sieve over a heatproof bowl. When oil reaches 350 degrees on the thermometer, add the fried shallots and cook just until they are crisp and well-browned, a few seconds, watching carefully so they do not burn.
- Step 3
Immediately pour oil and shallots through sieve to stop cooking, then transfer shallots to paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve oil for another use. Shallots will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day.

To be honest, we fryed the shallots in 275 deg for 8 min, drained on a paper towel, and they were perfect! Not certain of the purpose of re-frying at a higher temp. Absolutely delicious.
Thank you, Jim, for your comment. I did the same and the shallots were delicious. Can’t imagine the need to fry them a second time.
Front left burner at 6 for 275 and then 8 or high for 350. Works!
