Awesome Onion Rings You've Got To Try—Super Easy Using Vidalia Onions From Georgia

I just made a batch of these AWESOME Onion Rings. They are definitely a hit with the family. After soaking them in buttermilk you dip them in a flour/spice mixture and then into a flour/milk/egg batter.  Then you dip them in bread crumbs, even Panko bread crumbs, and they are absolutely delicious!   I like to make up the "FRY SAUCE" that is so famous here in Utah to go with our onion rings.  I put some mayonnaise in a bowl and then squirt on some ketchup and mix it up. Sometimes I add some buttermilk to the mixture.  If you don't have buttermilk you can just add a teaspoon or so to a half a cup of milk and let it sit. After it has sat for a few minutes you can add it to the ketchup/mayo mixture. It will be delicious!!!

The only onion that I cook with these days are the Vidalia Onions from Georgia. Every year at this time the sweet Vidalia onions are harvested and ready to buy.  I get mine at Costco where a 10 lb bag is only $7.00.  Vidalia onions are sweeter than other onions and we love them.  I'll purchase 4 or 5 bags and cut each onion up into small pieces and freeze in individual ziplock freezer bags so we can cook with these awesome onions all year long. So this time of year it is "Onion Rings" time for us.  We use the fresh onions and not ones that we have frozen for the onion rings. I like to cut the rings up in ½" rings instead of a thinner ring. You've got to try this recipe if you are a fan of onion rings. They will taste just as good, if not better, than restaurant onion rings.  Let me know how the they turn out in comments below.

It's Vidalia Onion Time! They are SOOOOO Sweet

Every year at this time (month of May)  I buy bags of Vidalia onions. They are the most delicious onion you'll ever eat.  You can get Vidalia onions at Costco. I paid $7.49 for a 10 pound bag.  You can probably get them at your favorite grocery store too but I'm guessing the bags at Costco might be cheaper. They are grown in Georgia and ship  from mid April to early Fall 

  So we can enjoy them year round I cut them up into small pieces and freeze them.(most of the time I have to "hide" the onions in the recipes I make so the kids don't know there in there, hence the small pieces)  I love being able to go out to the freezer and get more onions when I need them. They will make all your favorite recipes even that much better.  (Instead of cutting all these bags of onions by hand, I actually use my food processor--make it so much faster)

From the Vidalia Onion Web site: 

"During the tough days of the Great Depression, farmers had high hopes of a new cash crop. These hard-working men had grown everything from corn to cotton in Georgia’s sandy soil, and onions seemed to hold some promise of better profits.Imagine their surprise and concern when what grew was not an instant money-maker but a strange onion that wasn’t hot"
