• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 
• Mix margarine (or butter) and onion soup mix together. 
• Using a sharp knife, make crosswise cuts in each potato about a ½ inch apart, (you want to make about 4 -5 cuts in each potato) stopping about ¼ inch from the bottom of the potato. *Do NOT cut right through. 
• With a butter knife, add a dab of the margarine (or butter) onion soup mixture between each slice, dividing evenly between all slices in all potatoes.
• Wrap each potato in aluminum foil (tin foil) , shiny side in, and place on a cookie sheet, as they may leak a little.
• Bake potatoes in oven: for 40- 45 minutes or until fork easily goes through the potato.

  Grill/BBQ method: Follow the above directions, but bake on med-high grill/BBQ (with lid down) for 30-40 minutes until fork easily goes through the potato.

Garnish:

• You can garnish with sour cream, green onions and bacon bits, or your favorite toppings, if you desire.
