Ingredients
- 8 large baking potatoes
- Drizzle olive oil
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups thinly sliced onions
- 1/2 pound andouille sausage, ground
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups cream fraiche
- 1/2 pound white cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup chopped chives
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Season the potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and cool. In a saute pan, over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until caramelized, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool. Meanwhile, in a saute pan, over medium heat, add the 1 tablespoon of oil. When the oil is hot, brown the sausage, about 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the sausage and drain on paper towels. Set aside. Using a sharp knife, remove the top 1/4 of each potato. Using a spoon, remove the flesh from each potato, leaving about 1/4-inch border on each potato. Set the hollowed potato shells, aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the potato flesh, butter, and cream fraiche. Season with salt and pepper. Using a hand masher, mash until smooth. Add half of the cheese, sausage, chives and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well. Fill each hollow potato with the potato/sausage mixture. Top each potato with the remaining cheese. Place on a baking sheet and bake until the potatoes are warm and the cheese melts. Remove from the oven and serve.

I have been making this for about 10 years and always a hit. I have changed things over time I cut the chives in half, I use Italian Sausage instead of Andouille since one year could not find it and the family like that better (personal taste and I use about 1 1/4 lbs of sausage. I use the 1 1/2 cups of the cream sometimes a bit more and changed the cheese to a packaged 3 blend mixture. Overall time is about 3 total hours from start to finish including cleanup. I usually make over the holidays and do it the night before we are going to have it. For another idea I have not put the mixture back in the hollowed out potatoes but like a casserole dish and then reheat with and without cheese on top and sometimes breadcrumbs instead of cheese.

This dish is great! It has wonderful flavors that are not found in ordinary dishes. The smokiness of the cheese with the spiceness of the sausage is phenomenal. Definently a hit!

I have made this recipe for years now and ALWAYS get rave reviews. It is a little more work than a "normal" twice baked but well worth the effort. The andouille absolutely takes it to the next level.
