BAKED VIDALIA ONIONS

Steps:

• Get the biggest Vidalias you can find. Peel and cut a thin slice off the top and bottom of the onion so that it sits flat in a casserole dish. Take out a little of the core and cut a bit X in the top of the onion. Place each onion on a large square of aluminum foil.
• Top with pat of butter, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce, to taste. Place in dish and bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour, or until tender (check on these; you don't want it overcooked and too soft).
• Variation: Prepare onions as above, but instead of Worcestershire sauce, pour on about 2 Tablespoons of Kahlua before baking. It makes them nice and sweet. You can also put these on a gas grill or nestle them right down into the charcoal (use heavy-duty aluminum foil).

VIDALIA ONION AND POTATO TORTILLA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center. In a medium saucepan over high heat, cover potatoes with 4 cups water and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
• Slightly beat eggs with salt and pepper. Set aside. Heat oil in a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat, until just beginning to smoke. Add potatoes, and cook, stirring occasionally, until evenly golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Add onions, and continue to cook until wilted and beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Add eggs, sprinkle with chives, and swirl pan to distribute evenly. Transfer to oven.
• Bake until center is set and sides are puffy and golden, about 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature if eggs brown too quickly. Do not overcook, or eggs will get tough. Let cool slightly before slicing into small wedges.
