Creamy Succotash with Crispy Fried Onions

Add vegetable oil into a large sized saucepan over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to fill saucepan at least 2 inches.

While heating, peel and slice onion in half and slice into thin, half-moon slices.

In a medium bowl, mix the flour, and half of the listed amounts of salt and pepper. Add onion slices into the flour and toss to lightly coat.

Add onion slices into the oil in a single layer and cook for 5-6 minutes or until browned. Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain.

While onions cook, add butter into a large frying pan or saucepan over medium heat. Once butter has melted, add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add lima beans, corn, and ham and cook 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Season with remaining half of the listed amounts of salt and pepper.

Add cream and stir. Heat for 1-2 minutes or until all ingredients are hot. Taste for seasoning. Remove from heat and divide among bowls.

Top with parsley. Top each with fried onions and serve.
