This is a very good recipe. I don't use thyme or rosemary because I use the caramelized onions in a variety of ways, some which don't go well with those herbs. If I use large onions I up the brown sugar to about double and sometimes I use butter and other times olive oil. The basic recipe is easily tweaked to fit your tastes. I use the recipe as written for making chicken meatballs. It flavors them beautifully.

Used this recipe to make your mashed potatoes. Didn't have thyme or rosemary so I just added what I had in the pantry: dry basil. Omitted the salt because I think the margerine I used may have been salted, I don't know. Used 1 yellow onion and eyed it with the black pepper and brown sugar - came out great! Thanks for such a great recipe! It took awhile to make, but was well worth the time.
