Ingredients:
- 6 small russet potatoes (about 200g each), scrubbed
- 5 Tbsp butter, room temperature
- 350g mushrooms, coarsely chopped
- 2 large green onions, chopped
- 100g cream cheese, room temperature (about 1/2 cup)
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1 1/4 cups grated white cheddar cheese
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 190-200 C. Pierce each potato in several places with a fork. Place all potatoes directly on oven rack and bake until tender, for about 1 hour.
2. Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms; sauté until they're becoming brown, stirring frequently, for about 7 minutes. Add green onions; stir until wilted, for about 1 minute. Set aside.
3. Cut each potato lengthwise in half. Scoop cooked potato flesh into large bowl, leaving the skin intact. Add cream cheese, sour cream and remaining 4 tablespoons butter and mash well. Mix in mushroom mixture and 1/2 cup cheddar cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mound mashed potatoes in potato skins. Sprinkle each half with 1 tablespoon cheese. Place on baking sheet.
4. Preheat oven to 200°C. Bake potatoes until heated through and cheese melts, for about 25 minutes.
