Cooking instruction summary:

Remove from the oven and let them cool but don't turn off the oven. Make the caramelized onions while the potatoes are baking. Place 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook, stirring often, for 30-45 minutes, or until caramelized and golden brown.

Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl; set the empty potatoes halves on a baking sheet.
