These are named after my dad Chuck... chuck potatoes cause he invented the recipe.... thanks dad...love ya I sometimes cook these on the grill as well, be careful of flare-ups cause of the grease, I put in a baking dish and then cook on the grill. Can easily double or triple the recipe, just adjust the cooking time.

    Cut a large V shape out of each potato. Put about 1 tablespoon of butter in the V of each potato, place 2-3 slices of onion ontop of butter. Sprinkle potato with salt and pepper. Put the cut out V section of potato back in (it will stick out some because of the butter and onion but it will be okay.

    Place on rimmed baking sheet (I put a piece of foil down on my baking sheet to catch any grease drips). Bake for 1 to 1/4 hours, turning potatoes halfway through. Check for potatoes doneness with a knife inserted into potato. Bacon will be done but not crisp, and a little pale in color because of the foil steaming/cooking.
