    Potato-Stuffed Roasted Onions

    Recipe Link: http://www.recipe-a-day.com/

    List of Ingredients




    4 large Yellow Onions, about 3-inches in diameter
    Olive Oil for brushing onions
    16-oz. Red Potatoes (Approx. 4 medium potatoes)
    2 Tbs. Dry White Wine
    2 Tbs. Water
    4 Tbs. Heavy Cream
    2 Tbs. unsalted Butter
    2 Tbs. Romano Cheese, freshly grated


    Recipe



    Pre-heat oven to 375-F degrees.

    Trim the root ends of the onions flush, so they will stand upright in a roasting pan. Peel only the scruffiest skin from the onions, then cut of the tops level, about 1-inch from the tip.

    In a small oven-proof baking pan stand the onions upright and put on their tops. Brush onions generously with olive oil and roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until centers are just knife-tender.

    While the onions are roasting, boil the potatoes in lightly salted water. Cook for 15 minutes, until almost tender, then drain, allow to cool a bit, and peel; set aside, covered.

    Transfer the roasted onions to a clean work surface to cool, Add the white wine, water and cream to the roasting pan. On the stove top, cook the cream mixture over moderate heat, stirring, until brown bits scraped from bottom of roasting pan are just dissolved. Pour the cream over the potatoes; set aside.

    Leaving 2 or 3 onion rings at the outermost layer of each onion, carefully scoop the remaining layers out of onion shells with a small spoon. Chop the roasted innards, then sauté the onions over medium-high heat in a small skillet with a dab of butter. When golden, add sautéed onions to the potatoes.

    Increase oven temperature to 425-F degrees.

    Mash the potato, cream and onion mixture until smooth or process through a potato ricer into a bowl. Stir in the Romano cheese and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the mashed potato mixture into the prepared onion shells and replace the onion tops. (The onions may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.)

    In a small baking pan roast the onions in middle of oven until heated through about 15 to 25 minutes, serve immediately.(Serves 4)
