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) shopping list
- 1/2 c. (2 ounces) shredded Gruyère cheese, divided (or Swiss!) shopping list
- 2 TBSP. reduced-fat sour cream shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. salt shopping list
- 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper shopping list
- 1 1/2 tsp. butter shopping list

- 1 tsp. worcestershire sauce shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. dried thyme shopping list

How to make it
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
