Cut into rings, no smaller. Enough oil to cover the pan, plus extra
if you have a large amount of onions (you want to be able to get them
all lightly coated).

Other than that, keep a lower heat and stir ocassionally. It's
tempting to go with a higher heat just to get them done, but it won't
give you the desired effect.

Oh, and salt them (some add a little sugar too but I don't always).

Good luck!
