Oooh! Eat them! Use them! Make hamburgers and potato salad. Excellent in both.

mmmmmm steak sandwiches Or you could do onion rings. Weight watchers has a baked onion ring recipe where you dip the onion rings in buttermilk, roll them in a cornmeal and spice mixture and bake them. They are lovely in sandwiches, burgers, chicken salad, ham salad, and green salads.

I made a nice Vidalia Onion quiche the other day. Google Vidalia Onion Quiche or pie and several recipes come up.

I know what you mean! Last year, my cousin from Vidalia actually mailed me a box full of onions. I thanked him, but sheesh! I ended up chopping most and putting them into small baggies in the freezer.

You should so slice them batter them and make onion rings. Vidalia's make great onion rings.

Eat them.

fajitas!

You wouldn't want to use them in something like French Onion Soup, or anything that would overpower the taste. The other suggestions here are perfect -- salads, onion rings, potato salad. And on hamburgers. When you slice into one, cut off a small slice and eat it raw so you have a sense of the taste. They are, in fact, very sweet, without the same kind of "bite" that other onions have. Other answers have covered pretty much all of the best ideas, but the general principle is that the taste of this kind of onion is something you'll want to highlight in what you cook, rather than bury.

Vidalias are sweet and mild. They are about the only onion that some people actually slice up and make into a sandwich. So they are particularly valued for use where you want fresh onions. Burgers, sandwiches, fajitas, salads. Be creative, and Bon Appétit.

Here are some great recipes. http://www.vidaliaonion.org/vidalia-onion-gourmet-recipes.php http://southernfood.about.com/cs/vidaliaonions/a/onion_recipe_2.htm -
You could caramelize a bunch of them. I do 5 lbs at a time in the oven, in a large dutch oven, something heavy with a lid, and they reduce to just 2 1/2 cups when I'm through. It's a great thing to add to other dishes and have handy in your fridge. For a great recipe on how to do that: http://theenvelope.latimes.com/la-fo-calcookrec21a-2009jan21,0,7684782.story
