  • Total Time: 38 minute
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
  • Fresh thyme, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep and Bake Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Fork-pierce the potatoes, then rub them with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Bake on a sheet until tender, about 60 minutes.
  2. Caramelize Onions: While potatoes bake, melt butter in a skillet. Add onions, sugar, and salt, cooking until golden and soft, about 25 minutes. Pour in balsamic vinegar and beef broth, simmering until absorbed.
  3. Prepare Potato Shells: Once baked, halve potatoes lengthwise and scoop out the centers, leaving a shell.
  4. Mix Filling: Combine the scooped potato with the onion mixture and half the Gruyère. Spoon this back into the shells.
  5. Bake Again: Top stuffed potatoes with the remaining cheese. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese bubbles and browns.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh thyme. Serve hot for a melt-in-your-mouth experience.
