It sounds like your potatoes have been in a warm environment, when you peel them do so in cold water rather than warm and rinse in fresh cold water, this should bring a bit of rigidity back to them. The onion will be fine just cut away any visible mould, you tend to find the heart will go before the outer rings, so cut in half and make sure the centre is ok.

Sounds like an excellent basis for Potatoes Boulangere to me!
