Tried the mustard idea - used a teaspoon of Dijon . Brilliant! Who'd have thought so little would transform such a dish. I always add a tiny bit of finely-grated onion, too (about half a small one) to the potatoes as they're boiling.
(Strangely, when Finns serve boiled potatoes, they don't tend to peel them before cooking, they peel them as they eat them...It tastes much better. Unbelievable difference.).
I used my mother in law's recipie for themash, she adds some butter, pepper, milk and a teaspoon of English mustard, it's really nice that way. I also did not have red onion but found it was really nice using normal brown cooking onions but adding a little honey to them before adding the stock. Great recipie and open to interpret any way you wish.
A delcious meal to enjoy in these colder evenings! The onion gravy certainly gives it an edge!
For a really smooth and creamy mash, warm the milk before adding to the potatoes for mashing.

It was good, but if the essential part of this one is the caramalised onion, why bother searching out the jar? Slice a red onion - fry in the pan over highish heat and add brown sugar, honey or treacle to taste. I like the previous contributor's suggestion of maple syrup, so will try that next time.
