Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Fresh thyme for garnish (optional)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Bake the Potatoes:Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the potatoes, then pierce them with a fork. Bake directly on the oven rack for 50-60 minutes until tender. Let cool slightly.
  2. Caramelize the Onions:While the potatoes bake, heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until golden and caramelized. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes. Pour in beef broth and simmer until the liquid reduces.
  3. Prepare the Filling:Slice the top off each potato and scoop out the flesh into a bowl, leaving a shell. Mash the potato flesh with sour cream, half the Gruyère cheese, and Parmesan. Fold in the caramelized onions. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Stuff and Bake:Fill each potato shell with the mixture, mounding slightly. Top with remaining Gruyère cheese. Place on a baking sheet and return to the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh thyme if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • Make Ahead:Prepare the filling ahead of time and refrigerate. When ready to serve, bake the potatoes and stuff them with the pre-made filling.
  • Customizing the Flavor:Add cooked bacon or shredded chicken for extra protein. Swap Gruyère for mozzarella or cheddar if preferred.
  • Serving Suggestions:Serve these stuffed potatoes with a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Storage Tips:Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
