Corn chowdha, clam chowdha, seafood chowdha and potatoe soup. Those are some ways we use up our supply. MY little one hated onions for the longest time but after eating a nice corn chowdha she loved the P&O after. :love It's a slow process but is worth it when you find recipes they like. Good luck :)

My mom was one of those "you'll eat what I serve or you won't eat at all" moms. At the time I hated her for it, but I am so happy now. Thanks to her, I am not afraid to try new things. Let me tell you, I've eaten things I never thought I would!

Hash browns, vegetable soup, scalloped potato casserole (potatoes au gratin), beef stew, mashed potatoes, potatoes and corned beef, just to name a few. I use onion in almost every recipe so naming them is a waste of time!:lol:

I was raised in the "eat it or wear it" atmosphere. We all ate it!

I always let my kids decide they didn't like something-after they tried it. If they said they didn't like it when it was served for dinner-w/out tasting it I didn't make them eat it, but guess what they had for breakfast the next morning. :D

My favorite way to eat potatoes and onions is to fry them up together in a cast iron skillet with butter!! :drool

My DD 14 hates onions, but if I fry some diced up potatoes with onion, she'll pick the onions out to eat, then eat her taters :lol: My recipe is one potato per serving cut into 1/2 inch cubes, a little olive oil in a cast iron skillet, a good sprinkle of each of these: salt, pepper, chilli powder, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder, and a medium diced onion. It tastes similar to spicy fries without the spicy. It's the ONLY way I can get my brat to eat a good bit of potatoes besides plain old french fries :/
