Calories 32 kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 medium baking potatoes about 1 1/2 pounds
  • 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (2 ounces) divided
  • 2 Tbs reduced-fat sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp butter
  • 2 cups vertically sliced red onion
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 2 Tbs dry sherry
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 garlic clove minced

Instructions

  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.
