Spring Onion with Potato Stir Fry

Spring onions are also known as salad onions or green onions. They are harvested as the green leaves of onion, before developing the bulbs. Spring onions are mostly used in salad dressings and stir-fries. They are very much nutritive and healthy. You can use spring onions as greens in any dish.
