Separate cut onions into individual rings.
In a bowl, combine flour, corn starch, cayenne pepper and instant mashed potatoes. Add club soda and stir to combine. Set aside for about 1 minute as it slightly thickens. Dip individual pieces of onions into batter to coat.
In a shallow dish, place panko crumbs and roll battered onions to fully coat.
In a pan over medium heat, heat about 1 inch of oil. Fry panko-coated rings, turning once or twice, for about 2 to 3 minutes or until golden and crisp. Remove from pan, drain on a wire rack and season with salt to taste.
