Hah, I was looking for that option too!There wasn’t a poll option “No, OMG who does that?!”
So I just had to answer No.
I barfed on the table when I was five too! Asparagus was the culprit. My (ex) stepmother forced me to eat so I tried to swallow it whole. My dad said to her, “I told you” and let me eat mashed potatoes for dinner. True story.
I actually barfed on the table when I was five because my mom made me eat onions on my mashed potatoes. I still pretty much feel the same way.
Who would want to ruin perfectly good mashed potatoes like that?
It looks like most recipes call for the onions to be sautéed in sugar to be carmelized and then you stir them in at the end.

Pistachio pudding for me, at around age 10. I didn’t barf, but I was dry heaving the whole time. I wasn’t allowed to leave until I finished it all. After that four hour battle of wills, none of us kids ever had to go through it again.
This was before I developed my tree nut allergy but I wonder if that was part of the reason I hated it.
I'm confused by this - area we talking about boiling onions in the water with the potatoes before mashing, chunks of raw onion mashed in or something else?
Same, I’ve never made mashed potatoes with onion, I’ve never eaten mashed potatoes with onion, I’ve never seen mashed potatoes with onion, but potatoes and onion go great together (hash browns, sour cream and onion potato chips, breakfast potatoes, potato salad), plus garlic mashed potatoes is popular. My family loves potato leek soup.I don't eat a lot of mash potatoes simply because they don't fit into my nutrition, but I absolutely love them. I don't get the strong reactions of "OMG no!!". It's quite common to dice up potatoes and saute them up with onions, green peppers and such. I don't know why putting onions in mashed potatoes would be much different.
Therefore, I voted "other". I don't do it since I don't eat them much of any kind, but if they were served I'd eat it and come back for more.

That's what I do. I also add garlic to the water and salt. You'd barely notice that there were onions or garlic when the potatoes are mashed with butter, milk and sour cream. You'd just notice that they have a very nice flavor.That's how my mom made them when I was growing up. She would chop an onion right into the water with the potatoes and it would cook down so that when they were mashed you barely noticed there was onion in there.
