Instructions
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 1/2 inch apart, (you want to make about 4 -5 cuts in each potato) stopping about 1/4 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 (shiny side in) and place on a cookie sheet, as they may leak a little.
Bake 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.
