Ingredients
-
*2 lbs baking potatoes, scrubbed
*1 tbps vegetable oil
*1 tsp coarse sea salt
*1/2 cup butter
*1 small onion, chopped
*1 cup grated cheddar cheese or crumbled blue cheese
*salt and pepper (optional)
*snipped fresh chives, to garnish (optional)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375. Prick the potatoes in several places with a fork and put on a baking sheet. Brush with the oil and sprinkle with the salt. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the skins are crispy and the insides are soft when pierced with a fork.
Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occassionally, for 8-10 minutes until soft and golden. Set aside.
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.
Cook the filled potato skins in the oven for 10 minutes, or until cheese has melted and is beginning to brown. Garnish with chives and serve immediately.
