- Ingredients
    + 1 medium onion (~80g, but it doesn't have to be exact)
    + 4 Tbsp salt
    + 3 Tbsp paprika
    + 1/4 tsp black pepper
    + ~1 tsp (2g) mace
        * I only have whole, dried mace, so I don't know exactly how
          much volume it would have as powder. I just used a teaspoon
          filled with small pieces of mace, but it probably doesn't
          matter too much anyways.

- Instructions
    + Cut onion into small pieces and place in frying pan without oil.

    + Fry onion on medium heat for 15-20 minutes, occasionally turning
      the pieces, then leave on the hot (but turned off) stove until
      cool in order to dry the onion pieces. If a gas stove is used,
      it may be necessary to keep a very small flame on since no
      further heat comes after it is turned off.

          * It may be necessary to increase the time depending on
            various factors.
          * The onion pieces may get fairly dark brown, but they
            shouldn't actually get burnt unless the heat is too high
            (in the image, they may have gotten a bit too dark
            because I accidentally had the stove too hot).
          * It's probably possible to dry the onions using an oven as
            well, but I just did it with a frying pan and haven't
            experimented with other methods.
    + Grind dried onion pieces, paprika, pepper, and mace together in
      a spice or coffee grinder.
        * It might be a good idea to grind the onions alone and leave
          the powder to dry for a while since the onion pieces often
          will not be perfectly dry. I haven't experimented with this
          yet, though.
    + Add salt and grind for a few more seconds to mix it properly and
      make the salt a bit more fine-grained (the salt I get here is
      relatively fine-grained, but I still found it to be a bit coarse
      for my taste).
    + Note: Even though this seasoning salt is "officially" meant for
      french fries, you can dump it on a lot of other things as well.
