Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Prick the russet potatoes with a fork and place them on a greased sheet pan.
  2. Bake for 55-60 minutes until tender, then let cool slightly while keeping the oven on.
  3. In a skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add onions and caramelize for about 20 minutes until deep golden brown.
  4. Deglaze the pan with apple vinegar, scraping up browned bits. Stir in thyme and beef broth; simmer for 3-5 minutes until reduced slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Slice baked potatoes open and fluff the insides with a fork. Fill each potato with the onion mixture and top generously with cheese.
  6. Return to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes until bubbly and melted. Broil briefly if desired for extra crispiness.
