Baked potato halves with mushrooms and sour cream show that potatoes can be a main dish, not just a side. Potatoes boiled in their skins are halved and hollowed out with a spoon, then filled with mushrooms sautéed with onions and mixed with sour cream. The filled halves are sprinkled with shredded cheese and baked for about 15 minutes at 170 °C (340 °F). Next time, you can vary the filling depending on what you have on hand.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Boil the potatoes in their skins, let cool, and cut in half. Scoop out the centers with a small spoon to make room for the filling.

  2. Sauté the chopped onions and mushrooms in a little oil. Stir in the sour cream and season with salt and pepper.

  3. Fill the potato halves with the mixture and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Grease a baking dish or ovenproof skillet with butter or line it with parchment paper, then place the potatoes in it.

  4. Bake at 170 °C (340 °F) for 15 minutes, until a golden crust forms on top.

Tip: Sauté the mushrooms until their moisture has evaporated before stirring in the sour cream so the filling stays thick and doesn't make the potatoes soggy. Don't discard the scooped-out potato flesh; mash it and add it to the filling.
