Cheesy Caramelized Onion Potato Skin Snacks
Ingredients
- 6 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 onions, 1 red and 1 white, coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1-3/4 cups (7 oz.) Sargento® Bistro® Blends Shredded Sharp Wisconsin & Vermont Cheddar Cheese with Real Bacon
- 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Optional garnish: Sour cream
Directions
- Rub potatoes with oil. Bake in 350°F oven approximately 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes until tender. When cool, cut each lengthwise in halves and then quarters. Scoop out potato flesh, leaving 1/2-inch thick layer of potato in each skin.
- In a heavy skillet, sauté onions in butter. Slowly stir in sugars until dissolved. Continue stirring and add vinegar. Let mixture thicken and cool.
- Heat oven to 350°F. Place potatoes, skin-side down on greased baking sheet about 1-inch apart and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle each potato skin with approximately 1/2 tablespoon cheese and 1 tablespoon caramelized onions followed by 1/2 tablespoon cheese. Bake until skins are crisp and cheese has melted, approximately 30 minutes. Transfer to platter. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with sour cream, if desired.
Helpful Tips
- Do-Ahead Tip: The elements of the potato skins and caramelized onions can be made 2 days ahead and then assembled and baked on game day. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
