French Onion Stuffed Potatoes are a delicious twist on the classic soup, featuring baked potatoes filled with caramelized onions, Gruyère cheese, and savory seasonings. These cheesy, flavorful potatoes make the perfect side dish or a hearty vegetarian meal.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp thyme
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • ½ cup beef broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce potatoes with a fork, place on a baking sheet, and bake for 50-60 minutes until tender.
  • While potatoes bake, melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add onions, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook, stirring frequently, until caramelized (about 25-30 minutes).
  • Stir in balsamic vinegar and broth, then simmer until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat.
  • Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut off the top and scoop out the flesh into a bowl, leaving a thin shell.
  • Mix the scooped potato with sour cream, garlic powder, half of the Gruyère cheese, and the caramelized onions. Stir until well combined.
  • Stuff the mixture back into the potato shells, top with remaining Gruyère and mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamier texture.
  • Swap Gruyère for Swiss or provolone if desired.
  • Caramelize onions slowly for the best flavor.
