French Onion Stuffed Potatoes are a comforting and flavorful recipe featuring caramelized onions, gooey cheese, and perfectly baked potato skins.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup beef broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub potatoes, poke holes with a fork, and bake for 50–60 minutes until tender.
  • While potatoes bake, heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions, sugar, and salt. Cook until golden and caramelized, stirring occasionally (about 25 minutes).
  • Add beef broth to deglaze the pan. Stir and cook until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat.
  • Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them lengthwise and scoop out the insides into a bowl, leaving a thin shell.
  • Mash the scooped potato with sour cream, half the cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir in caramelized onions.
  • Fill potato skins with the mixture, top with remaining cheese, and bake for 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of beef broth.
  • Gruyere cheese adds a rich flavor, but you can substitute it with Swiss cheese or mozzarella.
  • These can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
