Potato-Stuffed Onions

These oniony potato cups are a nice switch from the usual side dishes. I sometimes add cheese to the cups for a tasty twist. Either way, they're savory and satisfying. I use green onions when I want a bit more color.Cheryl Norwood, Canton, Georgia6 ServingsPrep/Total Time: 30 min.
