Hasselback French Onion Soup Baked Potatoes

Hasselback baked potatoes are filled with tons of caramelized onions and topped off with Swiss cheese for one knock-out easy dinner side!

The obsession I possess with french onion soup has reached a new high today, guys. Observe our new ‘tater love, up there. ^^^

And pleaseeeeeeee get excited about these??? I’ve only been squealing for about 10 minutes over here about all that cheese business.

And the fact that caramelized onions are literally shoved into every crack of these hasselback baked potatoes. No biggie. No reason to freak the heck out.

….except we definitely should. For every single one of those reasons I just mentioned.

First things first: bake up those potatoes! Thinly slice a few big ‘ol russets about 3/4 the way into little slices hasselback-style and then throw ’em in the oven.

While that business goes down, it’s time to go to caramelized onion town!! Slice up a few sweet onions and let ’em caramelize low ‘n’ slow for awhile.

Assembling these hasselback beauties is honestly the easiest part and you could even prep the two above components ahead of time and just wait to assemble whenever you desire. Just fill up the potatoes with the onions, top the whole thing with Swiss cheese/chopped parsley and throw it under the broiler!

P.S. New Years Eve munchies ain’t gonna know what hit ’em. These potatoes are KING for your appetizer list for the holiday weekend.

Also…I’m probably coming over okay?
