Sweet Potatoes with Mushrooms, Onion, and Thyme

Tish's Note:

Roasting the potatoes with the onion accentuates the natural sweetness of both..with the earthy taste of mushrooms you have a real winner!

I made these for my first time hosting Thanksgiving Dinner. This was wonderful and much enjoyed by DH's family (who have not had any sweet potatoes as part of their Thanksgiving before). I also used balsamic vinegar (Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes). The onions may have been my favorite part!
