Instructions
1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry. Poke a few holes in each potato with a fork.
- Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife.
2. Caramelize the Onions:
- While the potatoes are baking, heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add the sliced onions and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and sugar.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for 30-40 minutes until the onions are deep golden brown and caramelized. If the onions start to stick, add a splash of beef broth to deglaze the pan.
- Stir in thyme, Worcestershire sauce, and the remaining beef broth. Let simmer for a few minutes, then remove from heat.
3. Stuff the Potatoes:
- Once the potatoes are done, let them cool slightly before cutting a slit down the center of each one.
- Gently scoop out some of the potato flesh, leaving a border so the potatoes hold their shape. Mash the scooped-out potato lightly and mix it with the caramelized onion mixture.
- Stir in half of the shredded Gruyère and mozzarella cheese.
4. Bake to Perfection:
- Spoon the French onion mixture back into the potatoes.
- Top each potato with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley for added flavor and color.
- Serve hot, and enjoy the deliciously rich, cheesy, and savory taste of French Onion Stuffed Potatoes!
