Baked potatoes with spinach-mushroom filling
Looking for a different kind of meal experience for weekday evenings, or perhaps something to take to work or school that also tastes great cold? Here’s an exciting recipe that combines delicious flavors with a hearty baked potato – presented in a slightly festive way! The preparation, however, is simple and doesn’t require hours of cooking. In addition, these potatoes keep very well in the fridge in an airtight container for two to three days without losing their flavor.
Servings: 2-3 people
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
For preparation you will need:
- 4 large or 6 medium potatoes (unpeeled!)
- 100 g champignons
- 150 g fresh spinach
- 1 medium onion
- 2 fresh garlic cloves (crushed)
- sea salt, pepper, chilli flakes (optional)
How to prepare stuffed potatoes?
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and line a baking tray with baking paper. Then wash and dry the potatoes and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Do not peel the potatoes! Poke a few holes in the potatoes with a fork (make 6-7 holes). This will help the potatoes cook through better. Place the potatoes in the oven and bake at 180 degrees for about 60 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. While the potatoes are baking, prepare the filling. To do this, add sliced mushrooms to the pan. Simmer with a drop of water or stock for about 7-10 minutes until the mushrooms are more or less cooked. Then add the onion and crushed garlic and simmer for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onion is soft. Add the chopped spinach as a final step. Cook for 1-2 minutes more and season to taste.
When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool a little. Then add the stuffing to the potatoes. To do this, carefully cut a longitudinal incision in the middle of each potato so that a knife does not go through the bottom of the potato (½ the thickness of the potato is enough). Using a fork, make a little space inside each potato and place the filling on top of the potatoes. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and enjoy immediately.
