Try something new with this savory and unique dinner option: Mashed Potato Stuffed Vidalia® Sweet Onions. This tasty recipe combines the sweet, delicate flavor of Vidalia® Sweet Onions with creamy mashed potatoes and gooey cheese for an irresistible dish that is sure to become a new favorite at your table.
As Vidalia® Sweet Onion season approaches, it's time to celebrate the arrival of these beloved onions from the heart of Georgia. Grown in low sulfur soils, Vidalia® Sweet Onions from Green Giant™ Fresh boast a mild flavor that sets them apart from other varieties, making them the perfect star ingredient for this flavorful dish.
Here are some tips and tricks to ensure your Mashed Potato Stuffed Vidalia® Sweet Onions turn out perfectly every time:
- Onions: For the best flavor profile, be sure to use genuine Vidalia® Sweet Onions from Green Giant™ Fresh. Their unique sweetness adds depth allows for them to be the start ingredient.
- Cheese: While we used parmesan in this dish, feel free to get creative! More pungent cheese like Swiss or gruyere will complement the sweetness of the onions and the creaminess of the mashed potatoes.
- Herbs: Enhance the flavor of your Mashed Potato Stuffed Vidalia® Sweet Onions with a garnish of fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or chives.
- Slicing: When slicing the onions, remove just enough so that you remove the stem and the onions can sit flat in the baking dish.
- Potatoes: Make this recipe even easier by using Minute Mashers™ Mashed potatoes from Green Giant™ Fresh! While the onions cool, pop the package in the microwave and you'll have hot mashed potatoes in just seven minutes!
- Serving: Serve your Mashed Potato Stuffed Vidalia® Sweet Onions alongside grilled meats like steak, chicken, or brats.

Ingredients:
- 5-6 Green Giant™ Fresh Vidalia® Sweet Onions
- 1 package Buttery Roasted Garlic Minute Mashers™ (or roughly 2 cups mashed potatoes)
- Olive oil or other cooking spray
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese + 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- Carefully slice bottom (to create a flat surface) and top from each onion.
- Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with cooking spray and place each onion bottom-side down then cover with foil. Bake for 1 hour or until onions are knife-tender.
- While the onions bake, prepare the filling and break crumb topping.
- Add Minute Mashers™ mashed potato according to the package instructions and mash very well. Add mashed Minute Mashers™ to a bowl along with 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese and mix to combine.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 Tbsp. butter then add bread crumbs. Stir and cook bread crumbs until they become golden. This happens very quickly so do not leave the stove unattended. Remove from the heat and add Italian seasoning and grated parmesan cheese. Mix well to melt cheese and combine ingredients. Break apart large chucks with a spatula as needed.
- Once onions have baked and are knife-tender, move to a cooling rack until they are cool enough to handle.
- Using a spoon, remove the inner layers of the onions while leaving at least 3-4 outer layers of the onion intact. Dice inner onion layers and add 1/2 cup to the mashed potato mixture.
- Increase oven temperature to 400F.
- Return outer onion layers to the casserole dish and fill with mashed potato mixture to the top. Bake for 10-15 minutes until heated through.
- Top warm onions with bread crumb mixture and return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes for an extra crispy bread crumb topping.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 before serving. Enjoy!
