Onions or potatoes, what is a must have in your grocery list ?

We use a lot of onions. I usually buy both a 10lb bag of potatoes and a 3lb bag of onions every week. I love frying potatoes and onions together. I also use both in a lot of soups and stews I make.

I will buy potatoes, because I do not like onions, when I cut the onions, the juice of the onions often fly to my eyes, makes me so unwell. Why not pick up something else? Such as tomatoes, cabbages, and so on.

Both onions and potatoes are important in my cooking. But I cannot do without onions as it is a must in almost all my cooking even though I put little bit of it unless french fries or some specific items. So, in my weekly grocery shopping, onion have a place always. But again potatoes are needed in larger quantity though in lesser number of cooking. It is also there in my weekly shopping too.

Eggs, nutritional yeast, rice, lentils, kale, zucchini, canned corn, beets, and spices (my spice rack is always out of something). Oh, and hemp or flax oil. I put hemp or flax oil and nutritional yeast on almost everything I eat. And hot sauce (I keep at least three varieties around at any given time). Wow, this is making me hungry to think about.

If I have to choose one of them, then potatoes are my favorite. I like eating potatoes. It can cook or even make a soup. We don't often eat onions.

because i love potatoes.it is our daily need.we can't cooked any vegetable without potatoes.And onion it is make taste in vegetable.potatoes used as fast food.

I can't cook my food without onion, so this is the main thing which I need to have in my kitchen. As for potato, I did not use it too much in my cooking. But I still buy it just in case my spouse want to have a potato in our meals. Asian food require onion/shallot too much in our cooking. I can't imagine cooking a perfect Asian food without onion/shallot.

I'd vote for potatoes as well, simply because of their versatility. They're a good source of complex carbohydrates (good muscle food) AND they're inexpensive. Plus, nearly everyone likes them in one form or another. I'm a big fan of onion and they're something we always have on hand but if I had to make a choice, it would be potatoes. Back in my extremely low $$ and dieting days, I'd make a whole meal (dinner) out of a baked potato, adding imitation bacon bits or whatever cheese I had on hand or even just a little margarine, salt & pepper. They're filling and also pretty low in calories.

If it had to be one or the other, I would have to say potato as we rarely use onions. Hubby truely is a Meat & Potatoes kind of guy and dislikes onions so much that I have resorted to buying onion powder so I can use it in place of onions just so hubby doesn't SEE the onion pieces. lol

I am sure I use onions more often than I do potatoes, as I alternate the starches in our meals from potatoes, rice, noodles - and onions I use to flavor most any dish I create. both the items are generally on my shopping lists though.

We have to have potatoes at our house - maybe it's the Irish in our blood!

Do I have to choose? I love them both! I bite into purple onions as if they were apples! I love onions! The only drawback is that nobody wants to kiss me afterwards. LOL. And potatoes rock the house too. Gotta have em. Whether they're baked, fried or roasted, I'm all over them like white on rice. Cheers.

Potatoes are on my grocery list most of the time as well. Also pasta (angel hair), eggs and bread. Potatoes are also great when you're on a budget, they're pretty inexpensive and they're very filling.

We don't eat many potatoes in my house. Well, unless french fries from McDonald's count! My must have staples for grocery shopping are rice, chicken, corn, broccoli, milk, eggs and bread. If we have those things we will be fine. I use onion, but only a tiny bit at a time. I use bell peppers in my cooking much more than onion.

In my cooking i use onions a lot, without them my stews seem very bland, so i use onions to liven up food blessed be

i must say that when i go shopping i can't do without onions. people use onions in mainly everything they do. so when i go shopping and have to decide between onions and potatoes i will go with onions instead.

Onions is a must in my weekly grocery list. Rice is the staple food in my place so we don’t take potatoes daily whereas we need onions, especially the small onions to prepare our daily dishes. I cut the onions and garlic into thin slices and then fry them until they turn yellowish. I then fry the shrimps and veggies together with them. My family and I do like potatoes and we take them about twice or more a week. I need potatoes only when I cook curry or prepare soup.

Spuds would be on the must list. I'm growing chives so I could, if I had to, pass on the red onions if forced.

I think onions will be in my list. Since we don't ear potatoes that often. We eat rice more compare than potatoes even we are living in Europe. My husband also like to eat rice even he is European. And I am an Asian who like to eat rice too.

we always use onion everytime we cook but when buying we always buy both onion and potatoes because we love french fries also and put it with other dishes:-)
