Baked Potato with Mushrooms
This dish combines the fluffiness of baked potatoes with savory mushrooms for a delightful experience in every bite.
Ingredients
Gather the following ingredients to create this mouthwatering recipe:
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 cups of mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini work great)
- 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite blend)
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Ready to create this glorious dish? Let’s break it down step by step:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). While that’s heating up, scrub the russet potatoes clean and poke several holes in each potato with a fork. This helps them cook evenly.
- Coat the potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Wrap each potato in aluminum foil, and place them directly on the oven rack. Bake for about 45-60 minutes or until fork-tender.
- While the potatoes are baking, let’s work on that delicious mushroom topping. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the remaining olive oil. Once hot, toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Next, throw in the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they’re browned and tender. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. If you want an extra kick, feel free to add some spices!
- Once the potatoes are done, unwrap them from the foil and cut a slit down the center of each one. Gently fluff the insides with a fork to create a little space for all the goodness.
- Top the fluffed potatoes with a generous portion of sautéed mushrooms, then sprinkle on that shredded cheese while it’s still hot so it melts beautifully.
- Finish off with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped chives or green onions for a pop of color and flavor!
And just like that, you’ve got yourself a hearty plate of Baked Potatoes with Mushrooms ready to be devoured! Serve them up hot, and watch as everyone gathers around to indulge in this fantastic creation. Enjoy every bite!
