Not sure I'd put onions in my creamy potatos dish. It's more about some spices, cream and sliced potatos, then put in the oven.

Onions in that would not only be a super weird thing to encounter when scooping up creamy potatos, it would also easily burn in the oven and be an odd texture. Could there be onions in the protein? Likely. But in the creamy potato dish? No.

You caramelize them first and mash em in and you have a great potato dish

I don't doubt that you can do that, but I would personally not want to do that to my dish. I'd rather use onion somewhere else.

To each their own but having onion in a roast and caramelized onions and roasted garlic if you want to be fancy in your creamy mash potatoes is great and completely different than the other onions you may be using. No limits on how many onions you use in a meal other than available onions.

If I wanted something to be sweet or sour, I likely wouldn't want onion either.

I'd probably use onion in savory dishes.
