Boil potatoes until tender, then mash them while warm. In a separate pan, soften chopped onion in a little oil, stir in tomato paste, and cook briefly before folding the mixture into the potatoes. Add warm milk or cooking water gradually for a smoother texture.
Tomato paste gives mashed potatoes with onion and tomato paste a savory, slightly tangy flavor and a warmer color than plain mash. Cook it briefly with the softened onion first to mellow its raw taste and help it blend evenly into the potatoes.
Use a potato masher or ricer rather than a blender or food processor. Overworking potatoes releases more starch, which can make mashed potatoes with onion and tomato paste sticky; mash just until smooth, then stir in warm liquid gently.
Yes, you can make mashed potatoes with onion and tomato paste ahead and refrigerate them in a covered container. Reheat gently with a splash of warm milk or water, stirring until the texture is creamy again; avoid leaving the dish at room temperature for long.
Yes, mashed potatoes with onion and tomato paste can be frozen, though the texture may become slightly grainy after thawing. Freeze in airtight portions, thaw in the refrigerator, then warm slowly while stirring in a little milk or water.
Yes, red potatoes work in mashed potatoes with onion and tomato paste, but they tend to make a denser, less fluffy mash than starchy potatoes. Leave the skins on if you like a more rustic texture, or peel them for a smoother result.
Mashed potatoes with onion and tomato paste pair well with roasted chicken, grilled meat, meatloaf, or sautéed vegetables. Their onion-and-tomato flavor is already pronounced, so a simple green salad or lightly seasoned vegetables make an easy side.
Yes. For dairy-free mashed potatoes with onion and tomato paste, use warm potato cooking water or an unsweetened plant-based milk to loosen the mash. Add it a little at a time so the potatoes stay thick rather than watery.
Mashed potatoes with onion and tomato paste keep for about 3–4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Cool and refrigerate them promptly after cooking, and reheat only the portion you plan to serve.
People with diabetes can include mashed potatoes with onion and tomato paste in a meal, but potatoes can raise blood glucose. Keep the portion in line with your meal plan and pair it with protein and non-starchy vegetables for a more balanced plate.

Mashed potatoes with onion and tomato paste is a homestyle side made by mashing cooked potatoes with softened onion and tomato paste. The texture can range from smooth to slightly chunky, depending on how thoroughly the potatoes are mashed and how much liquid is added.
Serve it warm: the onion brings sweetness, while tomato paste adds a savoury, gently tangy note to the mild potatoes. It works alongside grilled vegetables, beans, meatballs or a simple salad, and can also make a comforting base for a meal. The dish is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with some fibre; it contains 2.3 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter version, use oil sparingly and let the onion and paste provide plenty of flavour.
