Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 200 grams Mushrooms
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 3 tablespoons Sour cream
• 100 grams Cheddar cheese
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Wash and dry the potatoes. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.

Step 2

Rub each potato with olive oil, then place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a knife.

Step 3

While the potatoes bake, prepare the mushroom filling. Finely chop the mushrooms, garlic, onion, and parsley.

Step 4

Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the garlic and sauté for another 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.

Step 6

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and the mixture is dry.

Step 7

Season the mushroom mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir in the chopped parsley and remove from heat.

Step 8

When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut a small lengthwise slit on top of each potato and carefully scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a thin shell intact.

Step 9

In a mixing bowl, combine the scooped-out potato flesh with the mushroom mixture and sour cream. Mash until combined and creamy.

Step 10

Spoon the filling back into each potato shell, mounding it slightly.

Step 11

Top each stuffed potato with shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 12

Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 13

Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve hot.
