I love onions so this would work fine with my food tastes. I think it would be a new take on a side of mashed potatoes.

Delicious sounding way to prepare onions.

That's a very interesting way to prepare onions. Never thought of doing it that way, thanks for sharing it.

Is it sad I want to add grated cheese to this, too?!

Sounds great. I've had Vidalia onions baked and they're pretty tasty.

Is it just me or do onions just make most everything taste better? My grandmother used to cook chives, but she called them wild onions. At least I think chives and wild onions are one in the same. I doubt she ever heard the word chives in her lifetime.

We have wild onions that grow wild in our area,all you have to do is follow your nose and you will find them.they are different from what you are used to as the bulb is large part the stalk is as thick as a leek.they are not a sweet onion but they have great flavor.
