French Onion Stuffed Potatoes are a mouthwatering combination of caramelized onions, melty cheese, and baked potatoes. Perfect as a side or main dish!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 tsp thyme (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the potatoes, pierce them with a fork, and bake for 50–60 minutes until tender.
  2. While the potatoes bake, heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until caramelized (about 25–30 minutes).
  3. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add broth and thyme, then simmer until the liquid is reduced. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Once potatoes are done, let them cool slightly. Cut off the top and scoop out the insides, leaving a sturdy shell.
  5. Mash the scooped potato with sour cream, a portion of cheese, and the caramelized onions. Fill the potato shells with this mixture.
  6. Top with remaining cheese and return to the oven for 10–15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth.
  • Gruyere cheese provides a rich flavor, but feel free to substitute with mozzarella or cheddar.
  • These can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
