I used a regular small sweet onion, only used 3 red potatoes and it was a little thin so I did another batch of 2 tbsp. cornstarch and water to thicken up more. Was a little bland to our taste so I added some black pepper and red pepper flakes and also added a half jar of real bacon bits. It really added some extra flavor, turned out very good.
