How to cook deliciously - French Onion Baked Potatoes

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 350° and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Pierce potatoes all over with a fork. Rub with oil and season generously with salt and pepper.

2. Stage

Bake until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes.

3. Stage

Meanwhile, make onion soup filling: In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. When melted, add onions and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and caramelized, about 20 minutes.

4. Stage

Remove thyme and add wine. Bring to a simmer and cook until wine is mostly evaporated. Add in flour and garlic and cook until garlic is fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Add in broth and bring to a simmer. Let simmer until thickened slightly, 5 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper to taste.

5. Stage

When potatoes are tender, cut a slit lengthwise on the top of the potato, then press ends together to create an opening. Spoon soup into each potato and top with a slice of gruyere. Place on prepared baking sheet and bake until cheese is melted. If you would like more color, broil on high for 1 minute. Garnish with more thyme sprigs and serve.
