Yellow Onions depending on your pan size and the size of your onions, I typically cook 3 medium onions in a large pan.
Vegetable oil, optional to add 1 teaspoon of butter per onion
Water

Slice your onion into even pieces that are no smaller than 1/8" thick. To do this, remove the stem, and slice the tip of the root (leaving the root intact). Slice your onion in half. Now, make angular cuts to slice your onion into 1/8" slices almost all the way through, but not slicing the root. Finally, chop off the root, and break your onion into pieces.
Heat your pan over medium heat, and add oil, you want enough to coat the bottom of your pan in an even layer. Once shimmering, add your onions, and butter (if using). Stir to coat the onions in oil.
Continue cooking, and stirring your onions as they soften. Sprinkle with salt. As soon as your sliced begin to look dry, add a splash of water and toss to coat--I usually start adding water around 25 minutes. Continue to cook and stir your onions until they're brown and caramelized, this should take between 45 minutes - 1 hour.
