Fill a 3-quart saucepan 2/3 full with water, bring to a boil.
Meanwhile, place a 2-quart saucepan on a second burner and add add oil to about 1 inch, approximately 3 cups of oil. Heat to 350 degrees F.
Add walnuts to boiling water; reheat to boiling; cook 1 minute. Drain in colander and rinse under hot water.
In large bowl, toss walnuts in sugar.
When oil is at correct temperature, use slotted spoon to add a portion of walnuts; fry 5 - 6 minutes or until golden, stirring often. With slotted spoon, remove walnuts to coarse sieve placed over bowl to drain; sprinkle with salt; toss lightly to keep walnuts from sticking together. Transfer to waxed paper to cool. Fry remaining walnuts in batches.
