Do you have to defrost frozen onions before using them?

Do you have to defrost frozen onions before using them. I am making potato salad and wanted to try out the store bought frozen onions. Should I defrost them before use or will they defrost when added to the other ingredients?

I'm not sure I would use frozen onions in a potato salad. When left to thaw on their own, they can lose their crispness and crunch.
I mainly use the frozen onions in hot dishes, in which case I just dump them right from the freezer bag into the pan and saute them a little bit.

Can Onions Be Frozen

Frozen onions will defrost on their own but are best when used in a recipe that requires cooking. They get limp if you defrost and use raw.
