Ingredients:

4 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold work best)
2 medium onions, sliced thin
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional, such as parsley or thyme)
Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry and then pierce each one a few times with a fork.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

While the potatoes are baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, or until the onions are soft and caramelized.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the onions and stir well.
Once the potatoes are done, carefully remove them from the oven and cut a slit down the center of each. Gently squeeze the ends to fluff them up.
Top each baked potato with the sautéed onions, and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
Serving and Storage Tips:

Serving: This dish can be served as a main course, paired with a green salad, or as a side with roasted meats or grilled vegetables. For added richness, top with a dollop of sour cream or shredded cheese.
Storage: Leftover baked potatoes with onions can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place in the microwave or in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, until heated through.
