Caramelized Onion and Swiss Cheese Twice Baked Potatoes
Servings 4
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 2 russet potatoes cleaned
- 2-3 tsp olive oil
- 1 sweet yellow onion sliced
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
- Splash of seasoned rice vinegar balsamic would work too
- ¼ cup of sour cream
- 1-2 tbsp of butter more if desired
- Swish cheese shredded, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Wash the potatoes and poke a few holes in the potatoes with a fork or knife. Place into the oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes.
- While the potatoes are baking, make the caramelized onions. Place the oil into a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring often, for 25-30 minutes, or until caramelized and golden brown. Side Note: If the skillet gets dry, add a tablespoon of water or two.
- Season the onions with sea salt, to taste, and a splash of vinegar. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl (set skins aside).
- Add sour cream, butter, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, and mix thoroughly.
- Spoon the mixture into the potato skins, then top each potato with some of the caramelized onions and a sprinkling of shredded Swiss cheese.
- Place them back into the oven for a few minutes until the cheese has melted. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
