Add the pungent, earthy, and sweet trio of blue cheese, sautéed mushrooms, and onions and you'll never see baked potatoes in the same light again. This stuffed potato brings together the elements of an indulgent steakhouse dinner — minus the meat — to turn the classic side dish into the main course.
First, Bake Your Potato: 3 Ways
Before you can stuff your potato with this glorious filling, you've got to cook it. There are options aplenty, so choose what works best for you.
How To Bake a Potato in the Microwave: If you're in a hurry, take to the microwave. This gets the job done in about 10 minutes.
How To Bake a Potato in the Oven: The classic method produces ultra-crispy skin and a fluffy texture. You need close to an hour for this preparation, but the texture of the potato is superior. Bake a big batch on the weekend to have on hand throughout the week.
How To Bake a Potato in the Slow Cooker: Want to make sure you can have baked potatoes for dinner and don't want to wait the hour for them to cook when you get home? Choose the slow cooker. You'll need eight to 10 hours on low, so this is actually something that works with our workday — including the commute!
How to Make This Mushroom and Blue Cheese Stuffed Potato
Use a white or sweet potato — your choice. Heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add about 1/4 cup thinly sliced onions and about 1/3 cup thinly sliced mushrooms, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in about 1/4 cup of blue cheese.
Cut the cooked potato lengthwise and gently pull it open without splitting in half, then use a fork to fluff the inside of the potato. Spoon the filling into the potato and serve immediately.
All it takes is an inspired topping to turn a plain potato into a tiny miracle on a busy weeknight. This series will open your eyes to all the ways the humble potato can be loaded up with the help of no more than four common pantry ingredients
