I’ve always been a carb lover.  I just can’t get enough of them.  Sweet or savory I don’t care.  Just give me carbs.Oven Roasted Potatoes with Thyme and Onions ~ Living the Savory Life

Growing up I always went for the carbs first on my dinner plate.  Bread, potatoes, rice, pasta.  Give me more.  I remember my dad always saying to finish the rest of my plate before dishing up more carby goodness.  It’s not that I didn’t like the rest of the stuff, I just LOVED the bread and potatoes.Oven Roasted Potatoes with Thyme and Onions ~ Living the Savory Life

I prefer not to peel my potatoes but you can peel them if you prefer.  Just cube them up, spread them on a baking paper lined cookie sheet.  Drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper and some thyme.  Roast in hot oven for about 35 minutes flipping about halfway through.  Remove from the over and toss with slice onion and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes.Oven Roasted Potatoes with Thyme and Onions ~ Living the Savory Life

***After I cut the onion in half from pole to pole I took the half I was using and cut it in half (along the equator) and then thinly sliced.
