Caramelized Onion-Stuffed Baked Potato image

Recipe comes courtesy of Cooking Light magazine (March 2005 edition). This is definately a different way to stuff a potato and it is very delicious! Only adjustment I made to the recipe was the cooking process of the end potato. Recipe says to microwave the fully stuffed potato to melt the cheese, but I placed them in the oven for about 5 minutes with the other dish I was preparing and it worked just fine. If you like potatoes, definately give this one a try.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The caramelized onions were a bit too sweet for my taste, and the potatoes were a little dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a huge fan of caramelized onions, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The onions were surprisingly delicious and the potatoes were perfectly cooked. I'll definitely be making this again.

These stuffed baked potatoes were a hit at my last dinner party! The caramelized onions added a delicious sweetness and depth of flavor, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making these again.
