Mushroom Stuffed Potatoes - 20 minutes

Mushroom-Stuffed Potatoes

This is a new thing I am trying, sort of like my version of boiled potatoes. It can be eaten as a starter and main both, but because it isn't very healthy, it is better in smaller quantities







Where I learnt it from: Myself

Approx prep time: 10 minutes
Approx cook time: 10 minutes
Serves: 4 people

Cuisine: Indian
Part of menu: Starter/Entree/Appetizer 
Hot/Cold: Hot

Ingredients:

  • 4 potatoes, boiled
  • about 20 button mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup melted cheese
  • 1/4 onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 teaspoons flour
  • oregano flakes
  • salt
  • pepper
  • oil
Major Equipment: None

Preparation:

  1. Cut the boiled potatoes into halves and scoop out most of the potato content(keep it in a separate bowl)  leaving the skin and a thin potato wall
  2. Deep fry the potatoes until the skin is crisp

Cooking:

  1. Cut the mushrooms into quarters and saute them along with finely chopped onions, garlic and olive oil.
  2. Add some Oregano to the mushrooms before getting them off the gas
  3. Mix the mushrooms with the potato scooped out in the begining (prep step 1)
  4. Add the melted cheese to this mixture making sure that the mixture holds its consistancy
  5. After mixing properly, add the mixture to the fried potato skins, filling it graciously. 


Plating Suggestion: You can grate some over it and serve hot. Alternatively, you can drizzle melted butter over it

If you have and questions or suggestions (or want me to put up the recipe of something) Please feel free to comment. Thanks and Happy Cooking.
