I'm not an expert on onion rings because we don't eat them but I don't think
they would freeze well raw. Onions are filled with a lot of fluid and when they
are frozen raw, the cell walls break when the fluid freezes. That makes them
very limp when they are defrosted. They work quite well if you are cooking with
them but don't work at all if you are wanting to use them raw such as in a
salad. If you do try freezing onion rings, bread and freeze just a few the
first time. When you are ready to use them, fry them from frozen. If you let
them thaw, I'm afraid you will end up with a soggy mess.
With French fries I prefer to freeze them after the first baking. If I were
deep-frying them, I would freeze them after the first deep-fry. The following
is the pertinent information from my potato plan:
http://www.menus4moms.com/bulk/potato_plan.php
For oven fries, use the reserved large potatoes, peeling or not as you wish. Cut
into fries. I use 1/2" fries; the size of your fries will determine your baking
time. If your fries are not super-crisp, cover them with cold water and let them
set for 45-60 minutes; drain, dry well. Toss with olive or canola oil, add
spices and sugar and toss again. Place on baking sheet sprayed with non-stick
spray and bake at 475 degrees for 20 minutes. Place on brown paper bags or paper
towels to cool. Place on clean cookie sheets and freeze solid. Place in labeled
freezer bags and return to the freezer.
Oven fries are only partially cooked when I freeze them so they need to go in a
450 degree oven for an additional 30 to 45 minutes, turning halfway through.
Cooking time will depend on the size of the fries or wedges. Use a non-stick
baking sheet, a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, or a baking
stone. The oven fries can also be finished in a deep-fryer.

Is it possible to freeze them AFTER you cook them? Do I need to bake them first.
I mean if I fry them they will get nasty right?
