Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup beef or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (or Swiss cheese)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh thyme, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the potatoes. Poke holes with a fork, rub with olive oil, and bake for 1 hour or until tender.
  2. While potatoes bake, heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally. After 10 minutes, add sugar and continue caramelizing for 20-30 minutes until deep golden brown.
  3. Add broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Cook until liquid is reduced. Set caramelized onions aside.
  4. Once potatoes are done, let cool slightly. Slice off the tops and scoop out the insides, leaving a sturdy shell.
  5. Mash the scooped potato insides with sour cream, heavy cream, and some caramelized onions. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Spoon the mixture back into the potato shells. Top with remaining caramelized onions and shredded Gruyère cheese.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian-friendly version.
  • Substitute Gruyère with mozzarella or cheddar if preferred.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven.
