I had a few of those at one time, never really found a good culinary use for them.

This winter I may plant yellow multiplier onions (a.k.a "potato onions"). The big onions have little offset bulbs which can be saved for re-planting.

Hmmmm. I just peel and use the top bulbs (pearl onion sized ones) like I would any other pearl onion, or slice and in stirfry, etc. The mother bulb (one in the ground) is best harvested earlier in year when the leaves are about 2' high. They can get pretty strong by end of summer.

I had potato onions before, but they kind of got overridden by the walking ones....

My Egyptian walking onions did get top bulbs, but they were always way too tiny to fool with (pea-size, hence never a good use for them). Either I was bad at growing them, my conditions weren't right, or maybe it was not a great cultivar (?)

Ancient history now, I'll never know.
