Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.

In a small flameproof baking pan stand onions upright and replace reserved tops. Brush onions with oil a roast in middle of oven 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until centers are just knife-tender.
- While onions are roasting, in a saucepan boil potatoes in water to cover 15 minutes, or until tender, and drain in a colander. Cool potatoes until they can just be handled and peel. Return potatoes to pan.
- Transfer onions to a work surface to cool and add wine, water, and cream to baking pan. On top of stove cook cream mixture over moderate heat, stirring, until brown bits scraped from bottom of baking pan are just dissolved and add to potatoes.
- Leaving outermost layer of each onion inside skin, carefully scoop remaining layers out of onion shells with a small spoon and chop. In a small skillet sauté chopped onion in butter over moderately high heat until golden and add to potato mixture.
- Increase oven temperature to 425°F.
- Mash potato mixture with a potato masher until potatoes ate coarsely mashed and liquid is incorporated and force through a food mill fitted with fine disk into a bowl.

POTATO-STUFFED ONIONS
These oniony potato cups are a nice switch from the usual side dishes. I sometimes add cheese to the cups for a tasty twist. Either way, they're savory and satisfying. I use green onions when I want a bit more color.-Cheryl Norwood, Canton, Georgia
