I'd love to try these, but I can't stand onions. I'll eat onion powder, though. Can the onions just be left out, or do they add anything other than flavor? (extra liquid, etc.) I'd also like to be able to make small ones that I can freeze and then just heat up when I want them. What kind of pan would you suggest for making single-serving versions? How about substituting celery for the onion? If you don't like celery, maybe up the potatoes a bit; the onions add some volume, as well as flavor. And, rather than single-serve pans, why not just make the standard 9" pan version, then cut, wrap, and freeze individual portions? If you don't want to do that, you could use whatever mini pie pans you have - should work just fine. PJH
