Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup dry white apple vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 11/2 cups shredded Swiss or Gruyère cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a large sheet pan by greasing it lightly.
  2. Prick the russet potatoes with a fork and bake for 55–60 minutes until tender.
  3. In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until deeply caramelized (about 20 minutes).
  4. Deglaze the pan with dry white apple vinegar, then add thyme and beef broth; simmer for 3–5 minutes and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Once cooled, slice the baked potatoes in half and fluff the insides with a fork.
  6. Fill each potato with the onion mixture and top generously with cheese.
  7. Return to the oven for an additional 15–20 minutes until bubbly; broil briefly if desired for a golden crust.
