These Loaded Potato Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms are a really fun twist on traditional loaded baked potatoes...how about a bite-size version stuffed into a baby portabello mushroom?! *This post is sponsored by the Idaho Potato Commission in conjunction with a social media campaign through Sunday Supper LLC. All opinions are my own.
If you love everything about a loaded baked potato, then you must try this appetizer version that's fun to eat and serve. You get all that cheesy, flavorful potato goodness in a small, tasty package. It's also a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes!
How To Make Loaded Baked Potato Stuffed Mushrooms
Ingredients You'll Need:
- 16 oz whole baby portobello mushrooms
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded from the block
- 1 cup prepared mashed potatoes
- ½ stick butter, melted
- 2 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
- 4 pieces of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 tablespoon sour cream
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the stems from the baby bellas and gently carve out the center with a small spoon. In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, cheese, chives, sour cream, and bacon.
I'm not sure about you, but I could eat this filling right out of the bowl!
Stir filling to combine. Spoon filling generously into each mushroom (I use a small cookie dough scooper) and place mushrooms into a shallow baking dish. Drizzle with butter.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, until lightly golden on top. For a vegetarian version, just leave out the bacon.
These flavors go together so beautifully...
Serve immediately.
Recipe Tip: How To Cook A Potato In The Microwave
No time to peel, boil and mash potatoes? No worries! Just scrub a couple of Idaho® russet potatoes under running water, pat dry, and prick a few times with a fork. Place on a microwave-safe plate and cook for 5 minutes. Flip potatoes over and cook 5-6 minutes more, until potato pierces easily with a fork. Scoop flesh from baked potato and add just enough milk or cream to get a mashed potato consistency (it won't take much). Measure out 1 cup mashed potatoes for your recipe.
