The microwave helps you prepare this yummy side dish in a snap! 'Bake' potatoes in the microwave until tender. Scoop out the insides, mix with some savory ingredients, and top with caramelized onions. Super! Ingredients:
2 medium baking potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds) |
1/2 c. (2 ounces) shredded gruyère cheese, divided (or swiss!) |
2 tbsp. reduced-fat sour cream |
1/2 tsp. salt |
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper |
1 1/2 tsp. butter |
2 c. vertically sliced red onion |
2 tsp. sugar |
2 tbsp. dry sherry, optional |
1 tsp. worcestershire sauce |
1/2 tsp. dried thyme |
1 garlic clove, minced |
Directions:
1. Pierce potatoes with a fork; arrange on paper towels in microwave oven. Microwave at high 10 minutes or until done, rearranging potatoes after 5 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes.
2. Cut each potato in half lengthwise; scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell. Combine potato pulp, 1/4 cup cheese, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Spoon potato mixture evenly into shells.
3. Melt butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sugar; sauté 8 minutes or until browned. Stir in sherry, Worcestershire, thyme, and garlic; cook 1 minute or until liquid evaporates, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Top each potato half with about 2 tablespoons onion mixture and 1 tablespoon of cheese. Arrange stuffed potato halves on paper towels in microwave oven. Microwave at high 1 minute or until thoroughly heated.
