Help me use up ....

I have about 18 eggs, 10 onions & a fair few potatoes that need using up - so what ideas does anyone have that I could make & hopefully freeze?
I have bits & bobs of other stuff in like a bit of cheese, a bit of bacon etc - but need to mostly use up the eggs, onions & potato!

Just to note that I am allergic to tomatoes & wheat intolerant which may cut down some suggestions ...

    This is screaming spanish omelettes to me :D

    you can also break the eggs into little tupperwares and briefly beat with a fork, then freeze, good for egg fried rice or scrambled eggs at a later date?
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:
  • Can I just check why the onions and potatoes need using up - it's not because of dates on the bags is it? As they will probably last alot longer than the dates given.
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    No, they're very much towards the end of their life - a couple of onions have sprouted and the potatoes are in danger of going soft if they aren't used soon ;)

    I would either do omelettes (would use everything inc cheese & bacon!) or mash potato with onion if not chop & freeze the onion for future curries/chillies etc

    Spanish omelette as in tortilla - just eggs, potatoes, onions. Slice veg thinly and saute for a while until potatoes are nearly cooked through. Beat eggs, add to veg and cook like a thick omelette - should be about 3 cm thick. If you're daring when the top is just set slide it onto a plate, turn the pan over the plate hold the two tight and turn the pan right side up. Or brown under the grill. Good hot, very good at room temperature.

    Otherwise, mash, quiche, plain omelettes to freeze. You'll need to cook the potatoes before freezing but the onions can be chopped and frozen raw.
