This was great - even my picky eater commented on how good the potatoes were. I used red potatoes, and 4 weighed just over 1 lb. The only onion I had on hand was softball sized, so I used 1/4 cup diced to put in the mashed potatoes, and 2 slices to get rings to fry and place on top. I think much more onion would have been overpowering - I also rinsed the diced onion in cold water to take some of the "bite" out before mixing it into the potatoes. Thanks for sharing :)
