Idaho Potato Bar

I have never eaten potatoes like this until moving to Idaho- so I guess it's an Idaho thing.

Really easy and filling. Plus not your average baked potato. You can substitute basically whatever veggies you have in your fridge.

This method of baking the potatoes is my favorite- if you like the skins (which we loove)- you must try it.

                                  Idaho Potatoes

Serves 4

Ingredients:

4 Baked Potatoes, washed and scrubbed

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1/3 tube ground soy sausage

1/2 lb. mushrooms, sliced

1/4 cup sliced green onions

2 tomatoes, diced

1/3 cup grated cheese of choice

3-4 Tb Olive Oil

S+P

Preheat Oven to 450 degrees

Prick potatoes with a fork all over. Cover potatoes with Olive oil and sprinkle all with Salt and Pepper. Place potatoes directly on the oven shelf. Bake for 40min- check for doneness. 

Meanwhile, Saute sausage with mushrooms until sausage gets a little crispy and mushrooms are done.

Warm cream of mushroom soup on medium heat and add mushroom and sausage. 

Serve Potatoes by forking a line down the middle and squeezing the opposite ends. Careful of the hot steam. Top with soup mixture, tomatoes and onions, and cheese. Enjoy.
