Preheat oven to 425°F.
Cook onions in hot oil in a large skillet over medium heat, covered, 5 minutes or until onions are almost tender; stir in 2 Tbsp vinegar. Uncover, and cook 15 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until onions are browned and tender, stirring often.
Meanwhile, stir together mashed potatoes, breadcrumbs, 1 cup cheese, beaten eggs, and thyme. Form mixture into patties, about 1-inch thick.
Spread caramelized onions over tops of patties, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until browned and crisp.

Use a biscuit cutter or ring mold to form perfect patties.
