These were very good. I made them almost exactly as written, the exceptions being I used butter to saute the onions instead of olive oil because I prefer the taste, and I cooked the onion much longer, because I like it soft all the way through. I actually used medium (not large) potatoes because I had four of them, and I still found that they were not done after an hour. They needed longer and still weren't quite soft all the way through, so I would allow plenty of cooking time. A great recipe when the grocery store puts boursin on sale buy one get one free!

Since there are only 2 of us, I cut the recipe back to 2 smaller potatoes. I had some of Recipe #80675 left, so used it. Delicious. :)
