Steps

1

Preheat oven to 400º.
2

On a piece of foil, place baked potato and pierce several times with a fork to vent steam while cooking. Add olive oil and sea salt to coat each potato. Rub to coat the entire potato. Wrap in foil and bake for 1 hour until fork tender.
3

Melt 3 tbsp butter in a medium pan with onions and sugar. Saute for 10-12 minutes until carmalized. Add sherry/wine and stir onions while scrapping up loose bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until liquid is evaporated.
4

In a small bowl add bacon, goat cheese, carmalized onions, thyme, salt & pepper. Mix well. Set aside.
5

Once potatoes are cooked and cooled, cut out the center of each potato. Scoop all of the potato from the center and place in a large bowl.
6

To the potato pulp, add heavy cream, salt & pepper, parsley and the other 3 tbsp.of butter.Mix well with a mixer to blend until potatoes are creamy and seasonings are well combined.
7

Fill potato skins up with mashed potatoes just creamed.
8

Add carmalized onion mixture to the top of potatoes and broil until cheese is melted and topping is golden brown. Enjoy!
