Ingredients
- 4 large baking potatoes, scrubbed
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 very large yellow onion (or 2 big medium sized), rough chopped
- 6 tablespoon butter, unsalted
- 1 cup shaved, cooked firmly packed roast beef *can substitute very thinly sliced deli roast beef
- 1 teaspoon worcestershire
- 1–2 cups sharp cheddar, coarsely shredded
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 2 teaspoon chives, minced
- 4 tablespoon sour cream
Instructions
- Make your Perfectly Baked Potatoes in the oven.
- While the potatoes are baking, place a medium pot over-medium low heat.
- Add in the oil and 2 tablespoon butter.
- When the butter is melted, add in the onions and stir.
- After 4 minutes, sprinkle with sugar and stir to combine.
- Allow to cook down for 30-40 minutes or until the onions are very soft and have begun to caramelize.
- When the potatoes are done, remove from the oven and place on a baking sheet allowing to cool for 5 minutes.
- Place the oven rack to the broiler position and put the broiler on high.
- Run a knife lengthwise across the salted top, leaving about 1/2 inch on both sides.
- Using both hands, pinch each side of the potato.
- While pinching, push towards the center of the potato, forcing it to open up.
- Keep pushing and squeeze the fluffy insides up.
- Take a spoon and remove just a few tablespoon of the fleshy insides. You can save this for another use or just quickly put some butter and sour cream on it and inhale like I do. LOL
- Evenly divide the salt and pepper and sprinkle the inside of the potato.
- Place a tablespoon of butter inside.
- Next, take the roast beef and Worcestershire and add it into the pot with the onions.
- Gently stir just to combine.
- Divide the onion beef mixture and stuff it into the potatoes, mounding slightly.
- Divide the cheese and place heaping mounds on top.
- Place the baking sheet back in the oven under the broiler just until the cheese is melted. ~1-2 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and plate.
- Garnish with sour cream and chives.
