Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large onions
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the onions and cut off the tops and bottoms to create a flat base for stuffing. Hollow out the centers of the onions using a small knife or spoon, leaving about 2-3 layers of onion intact. Reserve the onion cores for another use or discard.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the hollowed-out onions and boil for 8-10 minutes until slightly softened. Remove the onions from the water and let them cool on a plate.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Boil them in a separate pot until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Mash the potatoes with butter and milk until smooth and creamy. Stir in salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and parsley. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Fill each hollowed-out onion with the mashed potato mixture, packing it firmly and creating a small mound on top.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the Parmesan cheese and olive oil until combined. Sprinkle this mixture over the tops of the stuffed onions.
Place the stuffed onions in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crispy.
Serve hot as a main dish or as a complement to roast meats or salads. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
