Ingredients
- 4large baking potatoes
- 1large onion, finely chopped
- 3tablespoons butter or olive oil
- ¼cup milk or cream
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Scrub the potatoes and place them in the oven to bake until tender, about an hour.
- Step 2
While the potatoes are baking, saute the onion until it is golden brown in one tablespoon of the butter or oil. Set aside.
- Step 3
When the potatoes are done, split each in half lengthwise. Scoop all the insides into a mixing bowl, taking care not to break the skins. Using a fork, mash the potato with the remaining butter or oil. Season the mixture with salt and pepper and fold in the onions.
- Step 4
Spoon the filling back into the skins of the potatoes, making eight filled halves. Mound the potato filling in each of the skins and lightly trace a pattern on the top of the potato with the tines of a fork. Set aside until shortly before serving time.
- Step 5
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place the potatoes in a baking dish and place in the oven 15 to 20 minutes, until heated through and lightly browned on top. Serve at once.
