You could make a simple baked potato, of course. Or you could take all the things that make a good French onion soup – sweet, salty and boiling caramelized onions, gruyère with nuts – and put them in a baked potato to make a much more than simple soup. I think I’ll go for the last one, thank you very much. These baked stuffed potatoes may be a bit much for everyday use, but they are worth the little effort they require. A fluffy potato is a natural companion to a rich, hearty French onion flavor, making it a delicious mashed potato.
