Calories: 177kcal
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet Potatoes rinsed and scrubbed
- 1/2 medium red onion sliced thinly
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Using a fork or sharp knife, pierce each potato about 10-12 times at regular intervals.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour, or until done.
- Meanwhile, saute the onions in olive oil on low heat until they turn translucent in color (~25-20 minutes)
- Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice each in half lengthwise with a sharp knife.
- Using a large spoon, carefully scrape out most of the potato into a large bowl. (Leave a little bit of potato near the skin just to provide structure and keep the skin from ripping.) Set skins aside.
- In the bowl with the potatoes, add the sauteed onions, beef broth, butter, 1/2 cup of cheese, and buttermilk. Mix well.
- Scoop the potato mixture back into each potato skin. Top with remaining 1/4 cup of cheese.
- Bake stuffed potatoes at 350 for about 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted.
- Serve warm or freeze.
