Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop the flesh into a large bowl, leaving the skins intact. Set aside the skins. Increase the oven temperature to 400.
Coarsely mash the potato flesh and and mix in the onion and and remaining butter. Add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the mixture back into the reserved potato skins. Top with cheese.
